Darwin Nunez’s stint at Liverpool has been marked by inconsistency. In the 2024–25 season, he tallied just seven goals and seven assists across 42 appearances, starting only eight times in the Premier League. Manager Arne Slot has reportedly questioned Nunez’s commitment in certain matches, casting further doubt over his Anfield future.
Atlético Madrid is showing strong interest, with Diego Simeone considering Nunez as a potential replacement for Ángel Correa. Liverpool are open to a loan move with an obligation to buy, provided Atlético agrees to cover most of his wages.
While clubs from the Saudi Pro League have also expressed interest, a move to a Champions League mainstay like Atlético could be more attractive to Nunez. Liverpool seem prepared to move on from their record signing and are already exploring replacements.
Among those linked are Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike and Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, as the club looks to refresh its squad.
