Liverpool are likely to sign a new centre-forward this summer as they aim to replace Darwin Nunez.

The Reds appear to have lost patience with Nunez and are engaged in active talks with Napoli to find an exit route for the Uruguayan.

As those talks continue to bubble, Liverpool are taking their time to find the right player in the transfer market.

Alexander Isak remains the dream target for Liverpool, but Newcastle are desperate to keep hold of the Swede.

And with Viktor Gyokeres heading to Arsenal and RB Leipzig pricing Benjamin Sesko out of a move, Reds fans should be very interested in the ongoing situation of Dusan Vlahovic at Juventus.

If Liverpool cannot come to an agreement with Napoli over Nunez, then perhaps they do not need another striker this summer.

However, the expectation remains that Nunez will leave.

And with journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reporting that Vlahovic could leave Juventus on a free transfer, the Serb should not be ruled out.

Di Marzio claims that Juventus are proposing to terminate Vlahovic’s contract, leaving him as a free agent this summer.

There would still be big costs attached in terms of wages and respective fees, of course, but in an otherwise difficult striker market, the lack of a transfer cost could appeal to Liverpool.

It is difficult to understand what has gone wrong for Vlahovic at Juventus.

He has been a good signing on paper after arriving from Fiorentina in 2022.

He has scored 58 goals in 145 games, including 17 last season, and is still just 25 years old.

The issue seems to stem from Vlahovic’s contract demands, but with one year still to run on his deal, it makes little sense for Juventus to rip up the agreement rather than sell for a fee this summer.

Either way, Liverpool should be taking note.

A good centre-forward.”

Vlahovic may not be the dream signing Liverpool fans are waiting for this summer, but supporters should be keeping a close watch on this saga regardless.
