Liverpool forward Darwin Núñez is set to leave the club this summer, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano. The news comes amid growing speculation surrounding his future.
Recently, David Lynch shared his thoughts with Dave Davis on Anfield Index, discussing the likelihood of Núñez’s departure and the club’s upcoming transfer strategy.
According to Lynch, Núñez’s time at Liverpool appears to be coming to an end. He stated, “I believe Darwin Núñez will definitely leave Liverpool this summer, and I think that’s almost certain,” citing significant interest from clubs, especially in Saudi Arabia.
Lynch went on to explain, “I’m quite confident he will move to Saudi Arabia, as there was interest in January, and the player seemed open to the idea.” If Núñez departs, it will mark a significant shift in Liverpool’s attacking options and force the club to reassess its forward line for the next season.
This potential departure would raise further questions about squad balance, especially with Liverpool under the management of Arne Slot. Lynch pointed out that the club will likely be targeting a new left-back, midfielder, and possibly a striker, should Núñez leave. This suggests that Liverpool is preparing for a busy transfer window.
Lynch also highlighted the situation with Luis Díaz, who still has two years left on his contract. Given the potential loss of Núñez, Liverpool may hesitate to transfer Díaz, focusing instead on other positions that require immediate attention.
If Núñez and possibly other players leave, Liverpool will need to target key roles to stay competitive. This includes strengthening their defense and midfield, all while managing player contracts and adapting their squad under Slot’s leadership.
As Liverpool faces a transformative summer, the decisions made in the transfer market will shape the club’s future direction—potentially leading to a renewed push for titles or requiring a period of adjustment as new players settle into the team.
