Liverpool have been linked with a shock move for former striker Darwin Nunez this summer, and now journalist Pete O’Rourke has provided a big new update. Despite this, the 26-year-old’s return to Liverpool has been mooted of late, with new head coach Andoni Iraola potentially seeing him as ideal for his system.

Speaking to Football Insider, however, O’Rourke has poured cold water on the shock transfer rumour, describing it as “pie in the sky”: “I don’t think Liverpool, right now, have any plans to sign Nunez and bring him back to Anfield, having let him leave three years ago to make that move to Saudi Arabia. So yeah, I think it’s a bit of a pie in the sky that one, that Nunez could be going back to Anfield.” Liverpool NOT signing Darwin Nunez is the right decision While there has seemed to be some support for Liverpool re-signing Nunez ahead of next season, not bringing him back to Anfield is the correct decision.

Too often, Nunez’s touch and decision-making let him down, and his finishing can be erratic, while he even has the potential to be sent off in games, as he showed at home to Crystal Palace early in his Liverpool career. He has had his chance already at Anfield, and flattered to deceive, and if Iraola does target a new striker in the summer transfer to provide competition for Alexander Isak, a superior option is required.
