Liverpool’s attacking department is set to undergo significant change this summer.
The transfer noise surrounding Liverpool’s attacking talent is getting louder as clubs begin to look into the possibility of acquiring them.
Playing for Liverpool comes with a lot of pressure, and those that struggle with confidence in-front of goal often find their time cut short, even if they believe they can turn it around.
Darwin Nunez is set to be a real focal point of transfer interest this summer, as he has struggled to adapt to the ferocity of English football since arriving in the summer of 2022.
Nunez has seven goals and seven assists in 44 games for Liverpool this season.
Numbers that are once again not good enough for the £64 million price tag that Liverpool splashed on the forward.
As a result of Nunez’s lack of ruthlessness in front of goal, Slot has preferred to utilize natural wingers such as Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz in the No.9 role.
Decisions that have frustrated Nunez, who has expressed his irritation on numerous occasions this season, adding to the speculation that he could be on his way out of Liverpool this summer.
The Uruguayan has been linked to numerous clubs, including River Plate.
River Plate are an Argentinian side that operate in their country’s first division.
As revealed by Tyc Sports, Vice President of the club, Stefano Di Carlo, has come out and denied any rumours linking Darwin Nunez with a move to Argentina.
“The River press market did it in January.
Everything that was said is not real.”
Stefano Di Carlo is adamant that it the rumours linking the Liverpool forward to the club are false.
The Club World Cup beckons for River Plate, but they are said to be in no rush to express interest in reinforcements at this stage.
Whilst River Plate have shut down rumours of a potential Darwin Nunez transfer, Nunez is still set to leave the club this summer, as Slot eyes a busy transfer window that could include a big-money striker, limiting Nunez’s playing time even further.
