Darwin Nunez's future at Liverpool appears increasingly uncertain as the club actively pursues the signing of two new strikers ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

Since making the switch from Benfica in a high-profile $113 million (£85M) transfer three years ago, the Uruguayan forward has struggled to deliver on his promise, managing only 40 goals across 139 matches.

This campaign has been especially underwhelming, with Nunez netting just seven times across all competitions.



Reports indicate the Magpies would demand in excess of $200M (£150M), prompting Liverpool to weigh other potential signings such as Lille’s Jonathan David and Hugo Ekitike of Eintracht Frankfurt.

David, who will be a free agent when his current deal ends this summer, has quietly developed into one of Ligue 1's most consistent scorers.

Jonathan David is available on a free transfer.

Nonetheless, Liverpool remain firmly in contention to secure the pacey striker, whose explosive speed makes him a major threat in the final third.

Hugo Ekitike is another option under consideration.
