Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is firmly on Atletico Madrid’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window. Following an underwhelming season at Anfield, the Uruguayan forward could be heading for a fresh start in La Liga.
Nunez Set for Exit After Mixed Campaign
According to Fichajes, Liverpool are open to selling Nunez and hope to recoup around €40–45 million. With just 14 goal contributions across all competitions this season, the Reds are ready to move on and invest in a more consistent goal threat.
The 24-year-old has struggled to cement a regular starting spot under Jurgen Klopp, often playing second fiddle to more clinical attackers. A switch to Spain — where many South American players feel more at home — could revitalise his career.
Simeone’s Project Could Unlock Nunez’s Potential
Atletico Madrid presents an enticing opportunity. Under Diego Simeone, Nunez could flourish in a system built on intensity and attacking transitions. The Argentine manager has a strong track record of getting the best out of his forwards — and Nunez’s physicality and flair could suit La Liga perfectly.
Liverpool Eyeing Fresh Firepower
Liverpool, meanwhile, must address their attacking inconsistency. Despite lifting the Premier League title this season, replacing Nunez with a reliable frontman is essential. Names like Alexander Isak have already been linked with a move to Anfield.
With ambitions to dominate again next season, the Reds will be active in the market — and Nunez’s departure may be the first domino to fall.
