Liverpool are preparing for a significant shake-up in their attack as reports suggest Darwin Núñez could be on his way out—and the club is already identifying potential replacements.
After two mixed seasons at Anfield, the Uruguayan striker’s time may be coming to an end, with several clubs—particularly from Spain and Saudi Arabia—said to be circling. While Núñez showed flashes of brilliance in a Liverpool shirt, inconsistency in front of goal and a lack of tactical fit under both Jürgen Klopp and Arne Slot have raised doubts about his long-term future.
🔄 Planning Ahead
Liverpool isn’t waiting around. The recruitment team is believed to be working behind the scenes to line up a successor, with a shortlist already being drawn up. Whether it's a traditional No. 9 or a more versatile forward depends on how Slot wants to shape his frontline.
Names like Jonathan David (Lille), Santiago Giménez (Feyenoord), and even a surprise move for João Félix have been floated—though nothing concrete has emerged yet.
💰 Funds from Sale Will Be Key
Núñez’s departure could command a fee in the region of £60–70 million—money Liverpool can reinvest immediately. With several areas needing reinforcement this summer, smart business will be crucial if the Reds want to remain competitive on all fronts.
🔚 A New Era Up Front?
With Mohamed Salah’s future also uncertain and Luis Díaz linked with a move away, Liverpool’s attack could look very different come the start of the season. Replacing Núñez won’t just be about numbers—it’ll be about finding a striker who fits Slot’s philosophy and the club’s high-pressing DNA.
