Darwin Nunez’s Liverpool <\/a>future is uncertain and he could leave Anfield<\/a> this summer. Despite winning the Premier League<\/a>, the 25-year-old endured a difficult season.<\/p>\n

In fact, Nunez started just nine top-flight matches and ended the campaign on seven goals and seven assists in 49 appearances across all competitions. It’s the lowest total Nunez has managed in the three years he has been at the Reds, having scored 18 in 2023\/24 and 15 in his first season.<\/a><\/p>\n

As Arne Slot is keen to strengthen his Liverpool front line, Nunez could be sacrificed to raise funds<\/a>. The former Benfica man is still considered as a prized asset, having signed for \u00a385.3million in June 2022. While the Reds might make a loss, they want at least \u00a370m to sanction his exit this summer.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, the ECHO <\/strong>takes a look at the latest surrounding Nunez’s future…<\/p>\n

Al-Hilal contacted Liverpool about Darwin Nunez on Monday<\/a> and the Saudi Pro League team were made aware about the conditions of a potential move, according to The Athletic.<\/p>\n

Liverpool rejected a proposal worth \u00a359m from Al-Nassr for Nunez in January and it’s thought that the Reds want more to accept his exit this summer. Nunez, meanwhile, is believed to be in favour of remaining in Europe, with a move to Spain and Italy his top priorities, at this stage.<\/p>\n

Atletico Madrid are among those considering a move for Nunez, with Diego Simeone keen on strengthening his forward line after finishing third in La Liga this season.<\/p>\n

Napoli loan deal<\/p>\n

Napoli have held talks with Nunez’s representatives as they search for a new No.9 this summer, according to reports. Antonio Conte’s side are in the market for a centre forward in an attempt to add more firepower ahead of their return to the Champions League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Liverpool would be more open to a permanent move, Napoli are said to be prioritising a loan deal for Nunez. He has three years left on his contract at Liverpool and the Serie A side would be willing to pay a high portion of his wages, reported to be in the region of \u00a3140,00 per week.<\/p>\n

Arne Slot comments<\/p>\n

It was claimed towards the end of last season in the Portuguese media that Liverpool <\/a>were limiting the striker\u2019s appearances to avoid paying an add-on to Benfica.<\/p>\n

But Slot hit back at those claims by stating that he\u2019s never been told not to play someone at Liverpool down to financial reasons.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cDo you always believe what journalists say? Not always? Me neither.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes you should, but sometimes it\u2019s better not to believe everything that is written about players. This is completely new to me and I\u2019ve said many times that I\u2019m working at a club here where it\u2019s really nice to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo mainly sporting directors are judged by the players they bring in, for me it\u2019s very important to have a great working environment and I have that with Richard [Hughes].<\/p>\n

“The last, last, last, last, last thing he would do, as I expect working with him for 10 months, is tell me: \u2018If you play him, it would cost us this much\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat, he would never, never, never do. I don\u2019t even know if it\u2019s true, yes or no, because we never talk about that.<\/p>\n

“He never interferes with a lineup. It might be true, but if a journalist says it, we have to…..
