Journalist David Lynch also shared his insights, stating that Núñez’s departure seems almost certain, with strong interest from other clubs, particularly in Saudi Arabia. Lynch mentioned that a move to the Saudi Pro League is a real possibility, especially after earlier interest in January.
Lynch added that Núñez appears open to leaving, making a summer transfer even more probable. If the 24-year-old striker does depart, it would significantly alter Liverpool’s attacking options and force the club to rethink its offensive plans for the next season. Núñez’s exit could also lead to challenges in squad depth and balance for the team.
With new manager Arne Slot taking over, the summer transfer window will be crucial in reshaping Liverpool’s squad. Lynch suggested that Liverpool will likely target reinforcements in key areas such as left-back, midfield, and potentially a new striker, should Núñez leave.
Alongside Núñez’s situation, Lynch discussed the future of Colombian winger Luis Díaz, who still has two years left on his contract. Given the possibility of Núñez’s departure, Liverpool may be hesitant to let Díaz go in the same transfer window, as losing both attacking players would leave a significant gap in the squad.
If multiple key players leave, Liverpool will need to approach the transfer market strategically, focusing on strengthening defense and midfield while ensuring they retain enough attacking strength to remain competitive in both the Premier League and European competitions. With a transformative summer ahead, Liverpool’s decisions in the transfer market will be pivotal in determining their success.
