Darwin Nunez, the 25-year-old forward, is set to remain with Liverpool until July, despite a failed transfer to Al Nassr in January. However, his departure from the club during the summer transfer window is a strong possibility, as discussions about his exit have been ongoing in recent months.
Failed Al Nassr Transfer
In January, Liverpool rejected bids from Al Nassr for Nunez, as reported on 11 February 2025. The Uruguayan striker, known for his pace and physicality, has been a key player for Liverpool since joining from Benfica. His potential move to the Saudi Arabian club was halted, keeping him at Anfield for the remainder of the season.
Current Focus and Future Prospects
Nunez’s current focus remains on Liverpool, where he continues to train and perform under the guidance of manager Arne Slot. Slot recently praised Nunez’s training performance, highlighting his dedication to the team. Despite this, the possibility of a summer transfer looms large, with Nunez’s future at Liverpool uncertain beyond July.
Managerial Support
Liverpool’s manager, Jürgen Klopp, has previously expressed his belief that Nunez has yet to reach his peak performance. Klopp’s comments, made in March 2024, suggest that the club sees potential in the forward’s development. However, the ongoing transfer discussions indicate that Nunez’s time at Liverpool may be coming to an end.
