Darwin Núñez on the Verge of Liverpool Exit, Atletico Madrid Take the Lead
Darwin Núñez could be on his way out of Liverpool this summer, following a challenging season under new head coach Arne Slot. While clubs from across Europe—including Napoli and several Serie A sides—have shown interest, a move to La Liga seems most likely.
As reported by Cadena SER (via Football España), Núñez has already engaged in discussions with Atletico Madrid and is open to returning to Spain, having previously played for Almería.
Highlights:
- Atletico Madrid are in the market for a new forward, with Ángel Correa potentially leaving and Antoine Griezmann’s role diminishing.
- Núñez views a move to Atletico—and a chance to work under Diego Simeone—as a promising way to rejuvenate his career.
- Liverpool, looking to recover much of their €75 million outlay, are open to a transfer but intend to negotiate tough terms.
- Atletico’s limited budget and interest in other players like Cristian Romero (Tottenham) and Alex Baena (Aston Villa) could complicate proceedings.
- If the transfer goes through, it could offer Núñez a fresh start and a chance to rediscover the form he showed before joining Liverpool. The outcome will likely hinge on Atletico’s financial commitment and Liverpool’s willingness to meet them halfway
