Walter Gargano, former midfielder for Napoli and compatriot of Nunez, has sparked the excitement. Interviewed by RadioGoal, Gargano reported a direct message from the striker:

“I spoke to Darwin Nunez, he told me 'yes, I'm coming to Napoli. I'm waiting to close'. I spoke with Nunez on the phone, he will decide with his family as De Bruyne did. He told me he wants to come right away, he's waiting to close with Napoli”.

Liverpool opens to the sale: the replacement has been chosen
