Liverpool star Darwin Nunez looks set to quit the club this summer after agreeing to join Atletico Madrid.

Nunez has been limited to 17 starts this season under new boss Arne Slot but it appears that he already has an escape route planned.

As per Cadena SER, Spanish giants Atletico Madrid have already held talks with the 25-year-old, who has ‘made it clear’ he wants to pursue a switch to La Liga.



Atletico Madrid are not the only side interested in the forward, with Napoli also among those keeping a close eye on him.

It was previously reported that Nunez’s limited minutes this season was to do with a clause in the deal that would see Liverpool pay Benfica a further add-on.

When that was put to Liverpool boss Slot, he rejected that out of hand.

He said: “Do you always believe what journalists say?

So mainly sporting directors are judged by the players they bring in, for me it’s very important to have a great working environment and I have that with Richard (Hughes).

“The last, last, last, last, last thing he would do, as I expect working with him for 10 months, is tell me: ‘If you play him it would cost us this much’.
