Darwin Núñez’s departure from Liverpool this summer is becoming increasingly likely.
The No.9 has struggled to fit into Arne Slot’s system, and recent criticism of his work rate has only added to his challenges. According to Fabrizio Romano, a summer exit for Núñez is now a “real possibility.”
With his future uncertain, Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, will need to secure a suitable replacement—and Alexander Isak has emerged as a key target.
The Newcastle striker has drawn interest from multiple clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool. Although he remains under contract at St James’ Park until 2028, his growing reputation and Newcastle’s financial situation could open the door for a transfer.
Statistically, the 25-year-old ranks among Europe’s top strikers, excelling in expected goals (xG), progressive carries, and successful dribbles.
If Liverpool decide to challenge Arsenal for his signature, they will aim to gain an advantage in the race.
