“IF YOU KNEW WHAT HE SAID, YOU’D LEAVE TOO!” – DARWIN NÚÑEZ REVEALS THE CONVERSATION THAT FORCED HIS LIVERPOOL EXIT
The football world is reeling after Darwin Núñez broke his silence on the real reason behind his sudden move from Liverpool to Saudi Arabia. The Uruguayan striker, once hailed as one of the Reds’ most electrifying talents, claims his departure wasn’t planned — but a single conversation with new manager Arne Slot changed everything.
“I know fans aren’t happy, but it wasn’t my intention to leave. I wanted to stay. What Arne Slot told me made me decide otherwise,” Núñez told reporters.
Sources close to the dressing room allege Slot hinted that Núñez would not play a central role in his plans this season, leaving the striker feeling unwanted. Saudi clubs moved fast, luring him with a massive salary, guaranteed starts, and the chance to join a league featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Karim Benzema.
Fans are divided — some furious at Slot, flooding social media with #DarwinTruth and #SlotOut, others slamming Núñez for “chasing the money” instead of fighting for his place.
The exact words from that conversation remain unknown, but Núñez’s bombshell statement has cast a shadow over Slot’s reign — and Liverpool’s season has barely begun.
