Napoli Set to Table Improved €55M Bid for Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez Amid Summer Reshuffle
Napoli are intensifying their efforts to sign Darwin Núñez from Liverpool, as the Serie A side looks to make a major statement in the transfer market this summer. According to sources close to the situation, the Italian giants are preparing a significantly improved offer — believed to be in the region of €55 million — as they aim to convince Liverpool to part ways with the Uruguayan striker.
The 25-year-old Núñez has been identified as a priority target for Napoli’s frontline, especially with growing uncertainty surrounding the future of Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen, who is widely expected to leave the club for a big-money move abroad. In Núñez, Napoli sees a natural successor — a dynamic, aggressive forward with Champions League and Premier League experience who can instantly slot into their system and bring a fresh dimension to their attack.
Despite an up-and-down season at Anfield, Núñez still contributed crucial goals and assists and remains highly rated across Europe for his physicality, pressing intensity, and raw potential. While Liverpool have not publicly declared Núñez as available, they are believed to be open to offers, especially if they can recoup a significant portion of the €75 million they paid to sign him from Benfica in 2022.
Napoli’s initial inquiries were met with resistance, but the club’s hierarchy is now said to be preparing a formal proposal that reflects both their ambition and Núñez’s market value. The offer could also include performance-related bonuses to sweeten the deal and bridge the valuation gap.
As Napoli look to build a squad capable of challenging domestically and in Europe, securing Núñez would mark a significant coup — one that signals intent and aligns with their tradition of developing talented South American forwards. Discussions between both clubs are expected to continue in the coming days, with Napoli hopeful of reaching an agreement before the end of the month.
