Liverpool forward transfer news: It is said that the Serie A team withdraws from competition, Saudi club expresses interest

Naples' recent attitude has unexpectedly been a surprise to Liverpool, and this potential deal has embarrassed them. Liverpool has made frequent moves in the transfer market, not only signing Wiltz, but also showing strong interest in forwards such as Rodrigo, Isak and Ekitic, which implies that the team may be preparing for the departure of center Nunes, especially with his possibility of transfer to strong Serie A champion Naples.

However, things took a turn for the worse. According to some less authoritative media, Nunes' plan to transfer to Naples has been put on hold and Liverpool has to look for other buyers. Uruguayan scorer Nunez is burly, but his goal-scoring ability is not satisfactory. Since joining Liverpool from Portuguese Premier League Benfica for a high price of 85 million euros in 2022, he seems to have gradually become a parallel striker. In the just-concluded 2024-2025 season, Nunes made 47 appearances for Liverpool, scored 7 goals and assisted 5 times. Despite Liverpool's Premier League title, few people attribute this victory to Nunez, and the real heroes are still Salah and Kepodias.

Liverpool, who want to strengthen their forward strength, must abandon Nunes. I have pointed out that the best teams for Nunez are Atletico Madrid in La Liga and Naples in Serie A. Although he lacks shooting skills, his ability to run, back and counter-attack is excellent, and can play a greater role in Atletico Madrid or Naples. I was originally looking forward to seeing him form a Premier League trident with De Bruyne and Lukaku, but I saw the cruelty of reality. Liverpool hopes that Naples will pay a transfer fee of 70 million pounds, but Naples is only willing to pay a maximum of 50 million pounds.

As the deal failed, Nunes's future direction became confusing. Is he considering switching to the Saudi league and becoming a teammate with Ronaldo? Or choose to stay in Liverpool? It is observed that Nunez has poor personal data and his salary is not bad. In addition, Liverpool is eager to do more operations in the transfer market. Even if Nunez is willing to stay in the team, Liverpool may not be optimistic about him.

At Nunes' age, it is a pity to choose to "retire" in the Saudi league. Do you think Liverpool should sell Nunes? Welcome to share your views in the comment section.
