The future of Darwin Nunez at Liverpool remains one that is shrouded in uncertainty.

Coming off the back of another frustrating season for Liverpool, where he barely featured during the title run-in, it seems the best move for both parties to go their separate ways this summer.

The Uruguayan seems unlikely to work himself into Arne Slot’s plans next season, as the Dutchman continues to build his new look Liverpool.

The potential departure of Darwin Nunez will bring to a close a three-year stint at the club that many would’ve hoped worked out better than it did.

Nunez has scored 40 goals for Liverpool across three seasons, but he has never quite worked his way into the team to become a regular starter.

His continued lack of composure and ruthlessness in front of goal is something that Arne Slot appears unwilling to put up with any longer.

He scored 7 goals last season in just over 2,000 minutes, compared to 15 goals in 2023/24 in just over 3,000 minutes, representing the lack of faith Arne Slot has in the striker compared to his predecessor Jurgen Klopp.

Since it was revealed that Liverpool would look to offload Darwin Nunez, the Saudi Pro League were the first to seriously consider the signing of the Uruguayan, but it is now Napoli who are seemingly front-runners for his signature.

Momentum has gathered in recent weeks that Italy is the next destination for Nunez and Fabrizio Romano has reiterated today that Napoli continue to pursue him.

Fabrizio Romano stated: “Darwin Nunez remains Napoli’s priority and dream target as centre striker.

The club won’t advance or close on different options until they have a chance to get Nunez.”

“Talks will continue next week in order to understand how or if a transfer fee and salary can be feasible.”

Liverpool have been linked with Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak in recent weeks, as they prepare to replace Darwin Nunez if his move to Italy happens.
