Liverpool are poised to make some big sales this summer, even if they are ones that displease some fans.

After spending almost £200m so far this summer, a number that will only likely rise, it is time for the Reds to start selling some players.

Many top stars are attracting plenty of interest and if they are sold, Liverpool will turn a decent profit on them, although deciding which players to let go is the tricky bit.

Darwin Nunez, however, seems nailed on to depart and a good fee would be accepted rather quickly, most would think, after a disappointing three seasons at Anfield.

The Uruguayan has got interest from top sides from all over the world, but there is one team in particular who appear closest to getting his signature, and a move might now start to accelerate.

Napoli made Nunez their top target towards the start of the transfer window, and their interest has never really wavered.

Questions surrounding his asking price of £51m put doubts in their mind but they remained interested, and now they might have the funds to facilitate a move.

Galatasaray have agreed to pay Osimhen’s €75m (£65m) release clause, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that the deal is close to being complete.

This, in theory, should give the Serie A champions all the resources they need to go and buy the 26-year-old if their interest is genuine, suggesting a move might start to gain traction.

It also puts Liverpool in a strong position to negotiate as they know what Napoli were willing to spend and now know that they have an extra £65m, suggesting they might get what they asked for the Uruguayan.

Other teams also remain interested in Nunez so the Reds may hope for a bidding war to break out, but Napoli appear the most likely destination, even more so now after this deal.

If this move does indeed allow Nunez to join Napoli for a good price, it will be beneficial, but it is also still a big blow for the Reds.

At one point it looked as if a swap deal could have been done between the top clubs, where Liverpool would get the Nigerian after paying a small fee plus Nunez and maybe even Federico Chiesa.

However, it appears to be another target missed out on and they will have to look elsewhere, with Hugo Ekitike the most probable choice right now.

Chiesa’s future also looks more undecided than ever before, but an Anfield stay could be more likely as interest in him quietens significantly.
