Liverpool Plot Major Moves as Nunez Nears Exit and Elite Striker Hunt Intensifies
Anfield could be set for another seismic shift as Fabrizio Romano reports that Liverpool are actively pursuing a top-level striker to replace Darwin Núñez, who may soon be heading out of Merseyside.
Multiple sources, including Romano, confirm that Napoli have intensified their pursuit of Núñez, identifying the Uruguayan as their top target to succeed Victor Osimhen, who is expected to leave the Serie A champions. While Núñez has had flashes of brilliance at Liverpool, his overall inconsistency has led to growing speculation about his future — and it now seems his time at the club may be coming to an end.
But Liverpool aren’t sitting still.
Under new manager Arne Slot, the Reds are lining up an aggressive double swoop this summer — targeting Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi for defensive reinforcement and an unnamed elite striker to lead the line. Romano confirms that behind-the-scenes talks are well underway with a high-caliber forward capable of making an immediate impact.
Though the identity of the striker remains undisclosed, reports indicate he is someone with Premier League pedigree and a proven goal-scoring record, ideally suited to Slot’s high-tempo, fluid attacking philosophy.
Liverpool are clearly intent on arming their new manager with the firepower needed to mount a serious title charge. Guehi’s arrival would bolster the backline, while the addition of a marquee forward could rejuvenate an attack that’s seen key departures and inconsistency in recent seasons.
With fans eagerly watching every development, it’s clear that Liverpool’s summer rebuild is in full swing — and the excitement is only growing as the transfer window heats up.
