Liverpool have initiated negotiations to sign a top-tier striker valued at €100 million, according to Sky Sports. The club, now under new manager Arne Slot, is targeting a more clinical and tactically sharp forward, viewing the move as an upgrade on Darwin Núñez.
This signals a major shift in Liverpool’s attacking strategy. Despite Núñez’s speed and work rate, doubts have persisted regarding his consistency in front of goal and overall fit in the team’s system — particularly after costly misses in critical fixtures.
The unnamed striker, reportedly thriving at the highest level, is expected to suit Liverpool’s high-pressing, possession-focused approach. Media speculation points to possible targets such as:
- Victor Osimhen (Napoli)
- Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus)
- Jonathan David (Lille)
- Alexander Isak (Newcastle)
Personal terms are unlikely to pose issues, as the player is said to be eager for a Premier League move. Liverpool’s return to the Champions League further strengthens their appeal.
While Nunez’s departure hasn’t been finalized, this proactive pursuit suggests the club may be open to selling or swapping the Uruguayan if the right offer is presented.
As Slot begins to reshape his squad, this could mark the start of a dramatic summer of change at Anfield.
