Liverpool fans are not happy with Darwin Nunez after spotting what he posted on social media just one day before they could win the Premier League title.
On Sunday afternoon, Arne Slot’s Liverpool will win the 2024/25 Premier League title if they can get a win or draw out of their match with Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield.
Ahead of the match, several of Liverpool’s star players have spoken out about the importance of winning the title this season, with captain Virgil van Dijk asking fans attending the match to wear red to add to the occasion.
One player who has stayed relatively quiet throughout Liverpool’s run-in for the title is Nunez, but now it appears that he’s finally spoken out, fans are furious.
Since arriving from Benfica in the summer of 2022 as part of a €75 million (£64 million) deal, Nunez has largely been a disappointment at Liverpool, failing to reach the heights that many thought he could achieve in red.
When Slot replaced legendary manager Jurgen Klopp at the start of the season, some had hoped that things would change for the Liverpool striker, but it appears that this will not happen, leading to rumours Nunez could leave in the summer.
In what appears to be a now-deleted post on his X account, the 25-year-old wrote: “No wonder I don’t play more, because the last game I started in the Premier League went well and suddenly…”
Shortly after it was posted, Nunez’s alleged comment was taken down and replaced with a different post showing off a selfie of himself and teammate Alexis Mac Allister and one of his tea with the simple caption: “Good morning!”
Nunez also decided to change the profile picture of his X account shortly after he allegedly deleted the post.
But that didn’t stop eagle-eyed Liverpool fans from spotting the initial post and sharing it online, and it’s safe to say they aren’t happy.
Reacting to the initial comment, one fan wrote: “Darwin Nunez is a moron. We all wanted it to work but it hasn’t. He’s childish and not worth the hassle. Simple as that.”
Another frustrated fan added: “Darwin Nunez career is officially over. Just freeze him out and sell him in the summer.”
And one disappointed fan claimed: “He’s just too emotional, isn’t he? The highs are amazing and his goals hit, but the lows are LOW.
“It’s a shame, he has all the tools but he just can’t put them all together consistently enough to be elite. I think this has sealed his fate, it it already wasn’t sealed.”
