Darwin Nunez has seen his Liverpool future thrown into question(Image: PA)

Darwin Nunez's future at Liverpool has long been in question, and with the summer transfer window almost upon us, a move away could be in the offing.

He received a winner's medal for his part in the 2024/25 Premier League campaign.

But Nunez only managed to register five goals for the Reds in 30 games this term – with Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Diogo Jota all proving more prolific in front of goal.

As a result, major questions have arisen with regards to the 25-year-old's future at Liverpool under Slot, who will undoubtedly look for a proven goalscorer to give Liverpool their best chance of defending their league title in 2025/26.

Here, Mirror Football breaks it down...

Former Liverpool star Dietmar Hamann recently pondered whether Nunez is the biggest transfer mistake in Liverpool's illustrious history.

The striker found himself benched at the turn of the year, starting just one game for Liverpool in the club's last 10 fixtures amid stiff competition for places in the starting XI.

Taking to X to speak about his lack of playing time on the eve of Liverpool's 5-1 title-winning victory over Tottenham, Nunez wrote: "No wonder I didn’t play more, because the last game I started in the Premier League went well and suddenly..."

The post was quickly deleted, with Nunez uploading a photo of himself and Alexis Mac Allister enjoying a popular South American caffeinated drink an hour later.

Nunez was initially issued the number when he arrived at Liverpool three years ago, but decided to switch to nine a year into his tenure.

Wirtz kicked off his career with Leverkusen at number 23, before swapping it for 27 in his second year.

He made the number synonymous with his name before eventually taking over as the Bundesliga outfit's number 10.

And while Mac Allister currently adorns that number, Liverpool would be able to nostalgically offer 27 to Wirtz – the shirt that helped him make his name.

Liverpool are also alone in being able to offer the number to Wirtz when compared to City and Bayern, with Matheus Nunes and Jack Grealish holding the numbers for the Cityzens, and Konrad Laimer and Leroy Sane occupying them with the Bavarians.

Any talk of assigning shirt numbers will come a touch prematurely at present, however, as it is believed that Leverkusen have slapped Wirtz with a price tag of more than £120m this summer, and time will tell if Liverpool are able to get a deal over the line.

Should Liverpool decide to sell Nunez this summer, then there are a number of clubs that the striker has been linked with outside the Premier League.
