Liverpool had huge expectations from Darwin Nunez when they signed him for £85 million. He was coming to Anfield on the back of some sensational performances at Benfica, which prompted the Reds to spend big for the club. However, since his arrival at Liverpool, the Uruguayan hasn’t been able to perform at his best and has struggled for consistent goals. The future of Nunez is therefore in doubt as we reach the end of the transfer window.
The Reds will be looking for a quality number nine who can bang goals consistently, as they will target all titles next season. Football Insider has reported that Nunez will be the first player to leave Anfield when the summer transfer window starts. The Reds don’t hope to make any profit but want to offload him for a decent fee to bring in a new world-class striker.
Liverpool are willing to sell Darwin Nunez as the first player in the summer
Fichajes had earlier reported that Atletico Madrid were interested in Nunez, given that South American players generally perform very well in the Spanish league. Liverpool’s Uruguayan striker is a whirlwind of chaos and brilliance. At his peak, his raw pace and power overwhelm defenders, charging through gaps like a freight train. Nunez’s finishing can be erratic, but when it clicks, he smashes shots with venom—left foot, right foot, or headers; he’s unpredictable.
The Uruguayan’s work rate is ferocious, pressing relentlessly to win the ball high up. His aerial presence is a weapon, towering over backlines, while his knack for popping up in clutch moments shows a big-game mentality. Rough around the edges, sure, but the Liverpool striker’s energy and hunger make him a thrilling wildcard.
Nunez has scored 5 goals in 23 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. He has amassed a G/A of 7 so far this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.65 per 90 minutes. The 25-year-old’s non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.48.
What does this mean for both parties?
His time at Liverpool is definitely up because the striker hasn’t been able to click with his performances at Anfield. The Reds are kind of desperate need of cutting their losses and Nunez also needs a different destination where the team will trust him and give him confidence. So, if any club comes up with a decent offer, it will be in the best interests of the Reds to accept it and cut their losses. The Uruguayan international will also get the chance to restart his stalled club career.
