Liverpool are reportedly ready to let Darwin Nunez leave this summer, with a price tag of £38 million, according to *AS*.
Since joining the Reds, Nunez has struggled with consistency. In the 2024–25 season, he scored seven goals and provided seven assists in 42 appearances, starting only eight Premier League games.
His limited role under new manager Arne Slot—who has reportedly questioned his effort in some games—has fueled speculation about his future at the club.
Atlético Madrid are said to be leading the race for the Uruguayan striker, with Diego Simeone viewing him as a potential replacement for Angel Correa.
Liverpool are reportedly open to a loan-to-buy deal, provided the buying club covers most of Nunez’s wages.
As the transfer window nears, Nunez’s departure appears likely, signaling that Liverpool are prepared to move on from their record signing.
While there has also been interest from the Saudi Pro League, the opportunity to play Champions League football with Atlético Madrid could appeal more to Nunez.
Behind the scenes, Liverpool are already exploring replacements, with Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike reportedly among their targets.
In midfield, the club has also been linked with Crystal Palace talent Adam Wharton.
