Darwin Núñez’s anticipated move from Liverpool to Napoli will not proceed after weeks of negotiations, with the Serie A champions withdrawing from the deal due to Liverpool’s high financial demands[1][3]. Despite Núñez’s openness to joining Napoli and the Italian club’s initial strong interest—even designating him as their top target—the two sides could not agree on terms[1][2]. Instead, Napoli have turned their attention to Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca, who is set to join the club on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy for €26 million[2][3].

Napoli’s decision to break off negotiations for Núñez comes after over a month of talks, during which Liverpool reportedly refused to lower their valuation[2]. Meanwhile, Napoli are also awaiting the resolution of Victor Osimhen’s future, with Galatasaray reportedly close to triggering his release clause[2]. The club is looking to reshape its attack after a title-winning season under Antonio Conte, who is seeking a reliable partner for Romelu Lukaku[2]. Lucca, at 24, is seen as a promising but not yet prolific striker, with 20 goals over the last two Serie A campaigns and physical attributes that could help him develop into a long-term solution for Napoli[2].

With Napoli out of the picture for Núñez, Liverpool are now likely to seek a deal elsewhere for the Uruguayan striker. Several clubs from the high-spending Saudi Pro League have made initial approaches, picking up interest that began earlier this year[1][4]. Journalist Fabrizio Romano noted that Núñez had been waiting for Napoli for a month, but now that the move is off, the focus has shifted to Saudi Arabian clubs, who may be prepared to meet Liverpool’s asking price[1][4].

Overall, while Núñez’s future at Liverpool is uncertain, Napoli have moved swiftly to secure an alternative, and the Saudi Pro League has re-emerged as the most likely destination for the 26-year-old forward[1][4].
