Darwin Nunez hasn’t been at the top level for Liverpool this season, with his Anfield exit now feeling as if it’s a matter of when, not if.

Since the start of the 2024-25 season, Nunez has been linked with moves away from Liverpool consistently, with Arne Slot even turning down a £59million bid from Saudi Arabia for him in January.

When Nunez was initially brought to Anfield by Jurgen Klopp, fans were ecstatic about his arrival after the performance he put in against Liverpool during the Champions League the season prior.

With this in mind, it’s not hard to see why Liverpool have been linked with several new strikers this summer.

“The problem with the [Viktor] Gyokeres deal is, you know, we’ve seen with Darwin Nunez, scored a lot of goals in the Portuguese league, he’s come to the Premier League and it’s not worked,” he said.

“Gyokeres is 27, yes, he scored bags of goals last season, 54 goals in 52 games, but I don’t know, I feel like Arsenal need someone who’s guaranteed.”

One position Slot really needs to reinforce this summer is his number nine.

As mentioned, Gyokeres is highly sought-after this summer, and it’s clear to see why with Sporting boss Rui Borges even dubbing the towering Swede as a ‘phenomenal‘ player.

The former Coventry man should be one of the highest names on Liverpool’s shortlist of players to target, especially since he bagged 54 goals last term.

But, at the moment, it’s anyone’s guess who Liverpool could end up with leading their line.
