Coming to the end of his Liverpool stint, Darwin Nunez is reportedly on the verge of leaving the club, with new signing Hugo Ekitike set to take over as the main striker. Nunez, who has scored 40 goals in 143 appearances since joining from Benfica, no longer figures in Arne Slot’s plans for the upcoming season. Though Liverpool initially valued him at around \$70 million, the club is now open to a loan deal with an obligation to buy.
Napoli had previously shown interest but eventually opted for Lorenzo Lucca from Udinese. Now, Juventus have emerged as a strong contender, especially as they struggle to finalise a deal with PSG for Randal Kolo Muani. With Dusan Vlahovic already part of the Juventus squad, a move for Nunez may not be immediate, but it remains a possibility. Atletico Madrid and Saudi clubs are also monitoring the situation.
Despite transfer speculation, Nunez made headlines by scoring a hat-trick in Liverpool’s 5-0 win over Stoke in a behind-closed-doors friendly at the AXA Training Centre. He later joined the 29-man squad flying to Hong Kong for a pre-season fixture against AC Milan. As Liverpool reshapes its attacking options, Nunez's future is likely to be decided soon.
