Darwin Nunez set to lose closest ally at Liverpool

According to the Merseyside Football Reporter for The Telegraph Chris Bascombe, there is a possibility that Darwin Nunez leaves Liverpool this summer.

The 24-year-old Uruguay international has underwhelmed throughout his stint at Liverpool in terms of raw numbers but there have been flashes and performances of a really high ceiling.

However, it has been suggested that one of Darwin Nunez’ biggest supporters and allies at the club is Jurgen Klopp, who is due to depart the Reds at the end of this season after being at Anfield since the autumn of 2015.

There is an expectation that the Artigas-born forward could be up for transfer during this window with the return of Michael Edwards as well as Richard Hughes heading up the clubs’ football hierarchy.

Darwin Nunez began his career in Uruguay before joining then Spanish second-tier outfit Almeria in 2019 ahead of a move to Lisbon giants Benfica in 2020.

Since joining Liverpool in the summer of 2022 for a fee believed to be in the region of £64 million, he has scored 33 goals in 92 appearances across all competitions.
