Agent jets in as Liverpool cult hero nears Juventus move | OneFootball

Liverpool made big changes to their strikeline last summer.

Sporting director Richard Hughes made serious waves in the transfer market - completing British record deals for both Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak.

The Premier League champions also added Hugo Ekitike on an expensive deal from Eintracht Frankfurt - completing a radical overhaul of the centre of Liverpool’s attack.

There were of course casualties in the process with Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz finding themselves surplus to requirements. Nunez went to Al-Hilal for an initial £46m while Diaz moved on to Bayern Munich for around £65m.

The Colombian has gone from strength to strength in Bavaria but Nunez’s career has totally stalled.

the 26-year-old being described in “crisis” by the Uruguayan media ahead of the FIFA World Cup.

Nunez could be on his way to Juventus

The Liverpool cult hero is expected to leave Saudi Arabia next summer and it looks like the forward is nearing a move to Juventus.

That’s according to Juventus reporter Gianni Balzarini on his YouTube channel as relayed on Tutto Juve. He claims that a representative of Nunez - Tommaso Inzaghi, the son of Al-Hilal coach Simone Inzaghi - jetted into Turin last week for talks.

Nunez was also present as the international friendly game between Uruguay and Algeria took place at Juve’s Allianz Stadium with Uruguay training at Juve's Continassa base.
