As reported by the Italian newspaper Calcio Mercatothe Liverpool has set its sights on Darwin Nunez for the next summer transfer market because they want to add one more piece to their offensive rotation, which is currently one of the best in the world.
The red team, which is in second place in the Premier League and in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, intends to continue strengthening its squad for next summer with the aim of consolidating itself as one of the best teams of the world. And one of his main goals is a center forward who can offer him different variants than Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota, who can also play on the wings to give Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah rest.
Darwin Núñez, target Liverpool
The Italian outlet confirms that Darwin Núñez is one of the options they have due to his impressive performance in the current campaign with Benfica.
The 22-year-old Uruguayan striker has 23 goals and 2 assists in 29 games played this season. Impressive numbers that come hand in hand with his great individual evolution in recent years since he left Peñarol and performed at a high level at Almería in the Spanish second division.
Liverpool is closely following his performance and would be willing to make a significant offer to acquire his services, although they know that they will have to compete against other great teams in Europe that are closely following him and against the opposition of Benfica, a club with whose contract ends in the summer of 2025.
It is an interesting option for the club, although they are also closely following other interesting pieces for the next summer transfer market. Mbappé’s name is still hanging around Anfield Road.
