Darwin Nunez has been on fire for Liverpool so far in pre-season(Image: Getty Images)

Darwin Nunez's future at Liverpool is unclear after falling down the pecking order and struggling to get on the scoresheet under Arne Slot.

It's a friendly against Championship opposition, but it makes a decision on his future a little more complicated for Slot, as other business that the club has done this summer, like the addition of Florian Wirtz, may prove to elevate him.

A move to Italian club Napoli looks to be off after their interest cooled, but Nunez still has his admirers in the Saudi Pro League, and Liverpool could choose to offset their significant summer spending by selling him regardless of his preseason performances.



Hugo Ekitike will want to be Slot's starter in the striker position, and so Nunez may consider looking elsewhere for more playing time.

Some fans say there is still a place for Nunez at Liverpool, if he wants it.

Wirtz is the final piece that will elevate Nunez to the player we know he can be."

Hopefully now he can just play his football — not chasing the price tag or trying to prove himself to the doubters every time he steps on the pitch."

ScouseIan says: "I'm beginning to think it would be good business to give Nunez one more season unless someone comes in with a very good offer."

Guille writes: "Big mistake to sell Nunez for a bargain price, as other clubs expect.

So wherever you are Darwin, good luck!"
