Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez of Liverpool may leave his team during the summer transfer window. This was reported by the Italian publication "Corriere dello Sport." According to the source, the 25-year-old forward is looking for a new club that can offer him a permanent spot in the starting lineup after the unsuccessful results of the last season.
Napoli is leading the race
Currently, the leading contender for Nunez is the Italian champion, Napoli. Under the leadership of Antonio Conte, the team is particularly focused on finding a central striker. From this perspective, Nunez's candidacy is considered the most suitable.
It has been reported that the management of Napoli is in constant contact with the player's agents and relatives. The new project at the club and Conte's playing style may suit the Uruguayan striker.
Milan is also interested, but...
Another club in Italy, Milan, has also joined the race for Nunez. However, according to reports, the Rossoneri are lagging behind Napoli in terms of activity. This makes it much easier to predict the next destination for the Merseyside striker.
Season results are unsatisfactory
Darwin Nunez played in 30 matches in the English Premier League last season and scored only 5 goals. This figure is considered quite unsatisfactory given his talent. The striker is demanding more playing time and a permanent position in the starting lineup.
Saudi option also failed
Previously, Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr club also tried to sign Nunez. However, negotiations did not end positively. In fact, the Uruguayan player prefers to stay at a high level in European football.
Darwin Nunez's future has now become one of the most intriguing topics in European football. While Napoli is making serious efforts for him, Milan is also not remaining silent. Liverpool has not yet made an official statement. But one thing is clear — Nunez wants to rediscover himself in a new environment. Perhaps the Italian league will be the necessary springboard for him? Time will tell.
