Darwin Nunez Faces Backlash, Expected to Leave Liverpool

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has sparked controversy among fans and fueled speculation about his future at the club after posting, then deleting, a social media message suggesting frustration over his lack of playing time. The deleted post, which appeared to reference both his goal-scoring performance in his last Premier League start and rumors of a contractual clause requiring Liverpool to pay Benfica an additional fee after his next start, has angered supporters on the eve of a potentially title-clinching match. Manager Arne Slot has publicly denied that financial reasons are behind Nunez’s limited appearances, insisting he is unaware of any such contractual stipulation and emphasizing that team selection is not dictated by transfer-related payments. Nunez's inconsistent form and perceived attitude issues, combined with this latest incident, have intensified calls from fans for his departure and increased expectations that he will be sold in the upcoming transfer window. The situation illustrates ongoing tension between the player and club management, even as Liverpool stands on the brink of a Premier League triumph.
