I’ll take with me countless memories that will live with me forever.“I leave with a full heart, thanks to the love of a crowd that never let me down and always had my back - through the highs and through the lows.“Liverpool will always be part of who I am. I’ll miss you more than words can say.
To all the staff and my teammates - thank you and all the very best for the future.”In a separate interview earlier this year, Nunez thanked Liverpool fans for sticking by him, saying: “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss them. The truth is, they made me feel very welcome, and my family too.“During some difficult times I went through personally, the people always gave me that affection, that support, and that was very important to me, and obviously I miss Liverpool.”FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
