Romano updated fans on social media, revealing that Nunez is focused on Liverpool until July, particularly after a potential move to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr fell through in January. However, once the season ends, it seems highly probable that he will depart. Romano also mentioned that discussions regarding Nunez’s departure have been ongoing in recent months, suggesting his exit is likely in the upcoming transfer window.
Liverpool journalist James Pearce has echoed these views, adding to the growing belief that Nunez may be nearing the end of his time at Liverpool. Although Saudi clubs were initially linked with the Uruguayan forward, his next destination may be in Europe, with Atletico Madrid reportedly showing interest.
A major factor in Nunez’s potential exit is the arrival of Arne Slot, Liverpool’s incoming head coach. The Dutch manager is expected to favor other attacking players, such as Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz, over Nunez, which could make it difficult for the striker to secure a place in Liverpool’s future plans.
Despite this uncertainty, Nunez still has an important role to play for Liverpool in the remaining season. Strong performances could help the club’s push for silverware and boost his market value ahead of the summer transfer window.
For Liverpool fans, the potential departure of Nunez is likely to be met with mixed feelings. While he has shown moments of brilliance, his inconsistency in front of goal has been a source of frustration. If Liverpool decides to sell him, it could open up the chance to reinvest in a forward who fits better with Slot’s tactical plans.
At present, Nunez remains at Liverpool, but all indications suggest that this will change after the season concludes. The coming months will be crucial in determining his future, with several clubs closely monitoring his situation.
