Liverpool could agree to transfer Darwin Núñez to Juventus in Italy
Liverpool may allow Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez to leave the club this summer, with Juventus reportedly interested in securing his services, according to Tuttomercato.
Juventus Explore Deal for Núñez Amid Uncertain Future at Anfield
Despite participating in Liverpool’s pre-season friendlies, Darwin Núñez appears unlikely to be part of Arne Slot’s core squad for the 2024/25 season. The 26-year-old striker could depart before the start of the Premier League, as Liverpool reshuffle their attacking options under the new manager.
Juventus are said to be pursuing a loan move with a mandatory purchase clause, as per reports from Italy. The Turin-based club sees the striker as a viable solution to their forward-line rebuild, especially after parting ways with several key players in recent seasons.
Saudi Interest Rejected in Favor of Staying in Europe
Núñez has also attracted interest from Saudi Pro League clubs, who were prepared to make a significant financial offer. However, the player’s preference is to continue competing at the highest level of European football, making Juventus an attractive option.
While no transfer fee has been officially disclosed, recent striker deals involving Premier League players suggest that a package exceeding €60–70 million may be required to finalize a permanent move.
Liverpool Seek Reinforcements After Luis Díaz Exit
Núñez registered just seven goals in 47 appearances during the 2023/24 campaign, falling short of expectations after a promising debut season. His potential exit follows the recent sale of Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich, which has increased the urgency for reinforcements in Liverpool’s front line.
The Reds remain heavily linked to Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, though the Magpies have insisted they will not sell unless they secure a replacement—RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško is reportedly their top target.
Rodrygo and Barcola Among Anfield’s Top Targets
In parallel, Liverpool continue to monitor Rodrygo, who is reportedly on the fringes at Real Madrid following the arrivals of Kylian Mbappé and Endrick. However, they face stiff competition from Paris Saint-Germain, who are also keen on the Brazilian attacker.
Olympique Lyon’s Bradley Barcola has also emerged as a potential signing. The 21-year-old winger is viewed as a dynamic option to bolster width and pace following Díaz’s departure.
