Darwin Nunez’s future at Liverpool has been a topic of considerable discussion for several months, and Fabrizio Romano has recently shared an update regarding the situation.
In January, Romano indicated that the Uruguayan forward was open to a transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr.
However, Liverpool’s management declined the offer, preferring not to part ways with him mid-season without securing an adequate replacement.
Both James Pearce from The Athletic and former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy have voiced significant skepticism about Nunez remaining with the club beyond the summer, implying that this could be his final season at Anfield.
On Saturday, Romano confirmed via X that Nunez is anticipated to leave Liverpool in the forthcoming transfer window.
He noted that plans for his summer departure have been in place since February.
Although Al-Nassr’s earlier offer was rejected, the club is now willing to consider all possibilities, and Nunez is reportedly eager for a new beginning.
As Liverpool discreetly gears up for a potential post-Nunez phase, speculation continues to mount.
Nunez has faced ongoing criticism regarding his goal-scoring abilities, having netted only seven times in 42 appearances this season, which falls short of expectations given his potential £85 million price tag with add-ons.
Nevertheless, his overall tally of 40 goals in 138 matches includes several crucial strikes, such as late winners against Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, and Brentford.
