“Arne Slot Ready to Cut Ties with Liverpool Star in £38m Transfer Shake-Up”
“Arne Slot Poised to Offload Liverpool Star in £38m Deal”
Liverpool appear ready to offload striker Darwin Nunez this summer, with AS reporting that the club has set an asking price of £38 million.
Nunez’s time at Anfield has been marked by inconsistency. During the 2024–25 campaign, he recorded just seven goals and seven assists in 42 appearances, starting only eight Premier League matches.
Manager Arne Slot has reportedly raised concerns about the striker’s work ethic, adding to speculation about his future with the club.
Atlético Madrid have emerged as strong contenders for Nunez, with manager Diego Simeone eyeing the Uruguayan as a potential replacement for Angel Correa.
Liverpool are said to be open to a loan arrangement that includes an obligation to buy, provided the buying club shoulders the bulk of Nunez’s wages.
As the summer transfer window looms, Nunez’s future continues to attract significant attention, signaling that Liverpool may be ready to part ways with their record signing.

The forward has also been linked with a potential move to the Saudi Pro League, but interest from a top European club like Atlético Madrid could easily sway his decision.
Joining Atlético Madrid would allow him to continue competing at the highest level, with regular Champions League football on offer.
Liverpool seem to have concluded that this is the right moment to part ways with Nunez, and behind the scenes, they are already exploring options for his replacement.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike has emerged as a prominent target for the Reds.
Meanwhile, in midfield, Liverpool are reportedly eyeing Crystal Palace standout Adam Wharton to bolster their squad.
