According to reports, Jorge Mendes is eager to get Darwin Nunez to leave Liverpool.
It’s up for debate whether the Uruguayan is as eager to end his Anfield career. Journalist Nicolas Saavedra of Radio Fenix believes that the 24-year-old does not need to leave the Reds right away this summer. “[Núñez] is not considering leaving right away. The Copa América is currently his first goal, according to the reporter, whose remarks were echoed by Sport Witness. It is said that the former Penarol striker will only accept a price of €85 million [£73.15 million].
We had to bring up Jurgen Klopp’s pre-Aston Villa press conference remarks one more. While expressing his sympathy for the Uruguayan’s situation, the German did not hint that the center-forward would be off the field come summer transfer window. Given Nunez’s impressive goal contribution rate of one goal every 96.51 minutes, is there a striker in the game that could greatly outperform him? There are many strikers that could, at most, match that, but none that immediately jump out as an improvement.
