Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.
A report from Fichajes reveals that Arsenal, aiming to enhance their attack, have surprisingly targeted the player. Nonetheless, Liverpool is unwilling to part with the 25-year-old forward and will seek a substantial fee if Arsenal shows interest.
The report indicates that Liverpool has set the player’s value at âŹ110-120 million. It remains to be seen whether any club will be willing to meet that price. Since arriving from Benfica, Nunez has performed fairly well for Liverpool, scoring 18 goals and providing 13 assists last season. However, he has faced significant criticism for his inconsistent finishing, often missing crucial opportunities, which has sometimes been costly for Liverpool.
Liverpool needs a more dependable finisher to contend for major trophies. However, parting with Nunez so late in the transfer window would be a risky move, as finding a suitable replacement before Fridayâs deadline would be challenging. Additionally, it’s unlikely any club would meet Liverpoolâs valuation of the South American attacker.
It would be wise for Liverpool to retain Nunez and allow him time to improve his finishing skills. Despite his current shortcomings, his overall footballing talent is impressive, and he could potentially develop into a world-class forward. It will be intriguing to see if the 25-year-old can address his finishing issues and reach his significant potential in the future.
