Darwin Nunez is one of many Liverpool players who have already been linked with an Anfield exit ahead of the summer transfer window fully opening.
Indeed, there was a 10-day window between 1 June and 10 June where players could be brought in if needed, but unfortunately for Nunez, no bids were made for his services.
Nunez’s Liverpool future has been brought into question on numerous occasions this season, with the Uruguay international not having the best of times in front of goal.
Ornstein adds that a bid worth around €70million (£59.2million) was rejected by Liverpool in January, so if a deal is to be struck, that would be the ‘minimum’ he’d exit Anfield for.
Wingers such as Malick Fofana have also been linked with a move to Liverpool, with strikers such as Viktor Gyokeres and Hugo Ekitike also mentioned.

With all of this in mind, while Nunez still has a decent amount of value and could still grow, it feels like the best thing that Slot and Richard Hughes could do is cut their losses and put the money earned from his sale towards strengthening the squad and replacing him.
