According to a report by Football Insider, Atletico Madrid are hoping to sign Darwin Nunez on loan with an option to buy. However, the Colchoneros will face competition from Serie A champions Napoli, with the Partenopei also eyeing a temporary deal.
Liverpool paid £64 million to sign Nunez from SL Benfica three years ago, and they do not want to lose him on the cheap. They will look to sell him permanently this summer. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Liverpool want to recoup as much as possible for the South American. The 25-year-old has no future at Liverpool, and he needs to move on to get his career back on track.
Apparently, Liverpool are uninterested in sending Darwin Nunez out on loan, and they want to sell him permanently. Atletico Madrid and Napoli value the player at £40 million, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. Saudi Arabian clubs are keen on the Uruguayan international as well.
The Uruguayan international managed to find the back of the net just seven times last season, and Liverpool are in desperate need of an upgrade. The Reds need to bring in a reliable striker who will find the back of the net regularly. Arne Slot will hope to win major trophies next season, and Liverpool cannot hope to do so with an inconsistent finisher.
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old was highly rated during his time at SL Benfica, and he remains a promising player. It remains to be seen whether a move to Italy or Spain can bring out the best in him. The likes of Antonio Conte and Diego Simeone are world-class managers, and they might be able to bring out the best in the South American.
It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Either way, Liverpool will look to sell him for a substantial amount of money this summer. It will be interesting to see if Atletico Madrid and Napoli can afford him. Both clubs need more depth in the attacking unit, and the South American could be a key player for them if he manages to hit the ground running.
