“Paul Joyce: Nunez Falters Under Slot as Anfield Exit Beckons”

“Paul Joyce: Nunez Struggles Under Arne Slot – Anfield Departure Looms”

Liverpool supporters know this weekend could crown them Premier League champions, yet significant changes appear imminent, with Darwin Núñez’s departure seeming likely.

In The Times, Paul Joyce noted, “Núñez seems to have one foot out the door, having failed to respond to Slot’s coaching.”

This sentiment is echoed by Fabrizio Romano, who reported:
“The plan has been clear since February: Darwin Núñez is expected to leave Liverpool this summer. After the club turned down a January offer from Al Nassr, all options will be considered in the coming months. Darwin is also open to a new chapter.”

Winning a league title would be a memorable way to bid farewell, but it’s disappointing that the Uruguayan’s undeniable talent couldn’t shine more consistently.

Although Arne Slot gave everyone a fair chance to prove their worth, he struggled to integrate the former Benfica star into his system. As a result, Núñez’s time at Anfield seems to be drawing to a close.

Although Arne Slot has downplayed the prospect of a busy transfer window, it seems clear that signing a new forward remains a priority. Neither Diogo Jota, Luis Díaz, nor Darwin Núñez has successfully made the role their own despite being rotated in the position.

The 25-year-old Núñez is expected to be placed on the transfer list, with the club likely to secure a respectable fee for his departure. These funds would then be reinvested to find a new No.9, closing the chapter on a partnership that never fully clicked.
