Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has confirmed that Liverpool is among several top clubs pursuing forward Julian Alvarez, who had a standout season with 29 goals. Despite the growing transfer buzz, Simeone was clear that Alvarez is still an Atletico player and the club intends to keep him.
**Liverpool Eyeing Striker Amid Nunez Uncertainty**
With Darwin Nunez potentially on his way out due to ongoing inconsistency since arriving from Benfica, Liverpool could be in the market for a marquee striker this summer. Should Nunez leave, Diogo Jota would be the only recognized central striker available to new head coach Arne Slot.
**Squad Overhaul Underway at Anfield**
Liverpool have already made progress in revamping the squad. A £29.5 million move for Bayer Leverkusen’s Jeremie Frimpong is complete, and negotiations for his teammate Florian Wirtz are close to conclusion. The club is also reportedly in talks with Bournemouth’s Milos Kerkez as Slot begins shaping the team to his liking.
**Challenging Move for Alvarez**
Although Liverpool are eager to bring in a player of Alvarez’s caliber, prying him away from Atletico may prove tough, as the Spanish side appears unwilling to entertain offers. Still, adding such a prolific talent would give Liverpool’s attacking options a major boost and signal serious intent under their new manager.
**Other Striker Options on the Table**
Alongside Alvarez, Liverpool are reportedly tracking Arsenal-linked Benjamin Sesko. However, their top target remains Alexander Isak of Newcastle United, though financial constraints could make that deal difficult.
