Napoli Plans Summer Bid for Liverpool Striker Darwin Nunez

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is a prominent target for Napoli as they prepare for a significant summer transfer window ahead of their return to the Champions League. Despite a mixed 2024-25 season with limited starts and modest goal contributions at Liverpool, Nunez remains highly sought after, with Napoli's sporting chief Giovanni Manna leading the pursuit. Napoli aims to strengthen their attacking options, also considering other Premier League players like Kevin De Bruyne, who is available on a free transfer. Reports suggest that Liverpool may be open to offers for Nunez, potentially around £60 million, given his peripheral role under manager Arne Slot. Atletico Madrid and Saudi Pro League clubs are also interested in Nunez, highlighting a competitive market for the striker. Liverpool are reportedly planning to loan Nunez with an obligation to buy, indicating a likely exit for the player this summer as the club looks to refresh their attacking lineup.
