ESPN Liverpool correspondent Beth Lindop is voicing concerns regarding Darwin Nunez’s future.
How do you resolve challenges with Nunez? This question has lingered in the minds of Liverpool supporters since the Uruguayan joined from Benfica in summer 2022. His last season always felt pivotal after a lackluster performance in his first two years at Anfield, where he only managed five league goals in 30 matches (with eight starts). While fans appreciate his effort, it’s no surprise that manager Arne Slot is pursuing a new No. 9 this summer.
Several clubs, including Al-Gharafa, Atletico Madrid, and Newcastle, have been linked to Nunez before AC Milan, but it remains uncertain which teams would consider replacing their star with a player as unpredictable as him.
