It seems Liverpool are prepared to offload Nunez in the current transfer window, with Napoli emerging as a strong contender for his signature, although it's reported that negotiations could still have some way to go before any agreement is finalised.

Uruguayan coach Fabian Coito has spoken out about Nunez's potential switch to Serie A, shedding light on why he believes the forward hasn't settled well at Liverpool, reports Liverpool.com.

"A clear statement must be made about Darwin Nunez: based on his technical, tactical and personal characteristics, he needs certain conditions to be able to perform at his best," Coito remarked to Kiss Kiss Napoli (as reported by Area Napoli).

"First of all, he needs to be physically fit.

And these tactical prerogatives probably weren't developed at Liverpool, preventing him from expressing himself to the fullest.

"In the Premier League, the pace is high and you have to make the best decisions on the pitch in a fraction of a second.

I have no doubts about Darwin: he's young, he has an impressive physique, his greatest quality, and he's in great shape.

"Plus, he's an exceptional person, and from my point of view, this aspect is fundamental."
