Darwin Nunez could still leave Liverpool(Image: Etsuo Hara/Getty Images)

AC Milan have made contact with the representatives of Darwin Nunez as they eye a deal for the Liverpool forward.

Liverpool retain an interest in Newcastle star Alexander Isak too and have seen a bid turned down for the Premier League striker.

If the Reds are successful in landing the Sweden, Nunez's position would appear to be even more untenable.



Antonio Conte instead added Lorenze Lucca to his side from Udinese on loan, with an obligation to buy for the forward for €26millon (£22.7m).

But their Serie A rivals may yet afford Liverpool an opportunity to offload Nunez, who they signed in a deal worth £85m including potential add-ons.

Milan are noted to be making a serious attempt to provide Max Allegri with a new forward with Arnaud Kalimuendo, Dusan Vlahovic and Rasmus Hojlund shortlisted alongside Darwin, per Sky Sports in Italy.

The Reds striker, 26, did not feature in his side's friendly against Milan but came off the bench days later against Yokohoma FM.

Nunez scored in the team's first two friendlies of the summer against Preston and Stoke City too.

Slot's emphasis appeared to be on building the attacker's fitness rather than considering life without him, having also revealed Luis Diaz's absence against Milan was due to transfer speculation, before he eventually departed.

“In Darwin’s situation, he has trained really well and played a few good games for us already this pre-season," said Slot said last week.
