Liverpool are looking to offload Darwin Nunez this summer, but they have their sights set on bringing in a world-class replacement.

Liverpool is reportedly considering significant squad changes this summer, with striker Darwin Núñez among those potentially departing Anfield. Despite his high-profile transfer from Benfica in 2022 for a club-record €85 million, Núñez has struggled to meet expectations, netting just seven goals across all competitions this season. His inconsistent form has led to reduced playing time under manager Arne Slot, who has openly criticized his performances following crucial missed opportunities. citeturn0news25

Recent reports have linked Núñez with a move to Atlético Madrid, suggesting the Spanish club is preparing a €65 million bid for the Uruguayan forward. However, Atlético Madrid’s CEO, Miguel Ángel Gil Marín, has refuted these claims, stating that the club is not seeking a striker and that reports of their interest in Núñez are unfounded. citeturn0search0

In addition to Núñez, Liverpool faces contractual uncertainties with key players Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk, all of whom have contracts expiring in June 2025. Salah, in particular, has yet to agree to a new deal, prompting discussions about the club’s contract policies and the importance of retaining top talent. citeturn0news24

As Liverpool navigates this transitional period, the club’s management must address these potential departures and contract situations to maintain competitiveness in the upcoming seasons.
