🚨 Story: Darwin Núñez Responds to Ekitike Signing With Statement Performance
In the wake of Liverpool’s high-profile signing of Hugo Ekitike in a €95 million deal, Darwin Núñez delivered the perfect response — on the pitch.
The Uruguayan striker, whose future had been questioned following Ekitike’s arrival, reminded everyone of his quality with a dominant performance in Liverpool’s latest pre-season match. Núñez was relentless in attack, scoring a goal and providing an assist, showcasing the pace, aggression, and finishing ability that once made him the club’s record signing.
His display came just hours after Ekitike landed in Liverpool for his medical, immediately sparking speculation about who would lead the Reds’ line next season.
But Núñez’s message was clear: he’s not stepping aside quietly.
Sources close to the player say he’s determined to fight for his place under new manager Arne Slot, and that this latest performance was just the beginning of a statement summer. With pre-season heating up and competition intensifying, Núñez has reignited belief that he can still be a central figure in Liverpool’s new era — regardless of Ekitike’s arrival.
One game doesn’t settle the debate, but Darwin Núñez has certainly silenced the doubters — for now.
