Fabrizio Romano has decisively dismissed surprising rumors about a major player potentially leaving Liverpool in the last days of the summer transfer window.
Earlier this week, AFCAMDEN sparked rumors about Darwin Nunez potentially moving to Arsenal, suggesting that the 25-year-old was “keen to move to London” and that Liverpool might be “willing to sell,” though they deemed the transfer “improbable but not impossible.”
However, speaking on Playback, Italian reporter Fabrizio Romano firmly stated that Nunez will not be leaving Anfield before the transfer deadline tomorrow night. Romano clarified that there is no basis for claims that Nunez is pushing for a move. He emphasized that Nunez is fully committed to Liverpool, is pleased with the new coach Arne Slot and the team’s new direction, and has not requested a transfer this summer.
Romano assured that the speculation about Nunez leaving Liverpool was unfounded and never gained real momentum. The idea of Liverpool selling a key player to a direct Premier League rival in the final days of the transfer window, especially during a summer of minimal incoming transfers, seems highly unlikely.
If Richard Hughes had approved a move to Arsenal for Darwin Nunez early in his tenure as Liverpool’s sporting director, it would have likely alienated the fan base, especially given the slow pace of new signings.
Although Nunez has been limited to substitute appearances in his first two league games this season, Romano’s confirmation that he is enjoying his time under Arne Slot suggests that the 25-year-old is content at Liverpool. It’s expected that he will get more starting opportunities during the busy season.
For now, any speculation about Nunez leaving Liverpool should be dismissed.
