Liverpool forward Darwin NĂșñez is edging closer to the Anfield exit door, with Napoli keen on securing his signature. The Uruguayan striker, who has struggled for regular starts under new manager Arne Slot, appears to have accepted that his time with the Reds is coming to an end.
Reports suggest that NĂșñez has given Napoli the go-ahead to initiate talks, but a potential deal is being delayed by Liverpoolâs current asking price of ÂŁ70 million. The Serie A giants are reluctant to meet that figure and are reportedly willing to wait, hoping that Liverpool might lower their demands as the transfer window progresses.
Since joining from Benfica, NĂșñez has found it hard to live up to expectations. Last season, he featured in just eight league matches from the start â a clear indication that heâs not central to Slotâs plans moving forward.
Napoli, who are looking to strengthen their attack, value the striker closer to ÂŁ50 million and are willing to bide their time to strike a deal they believe suits both sides.
