Liverpool make new No 9 their ‘top priority’ with Nunez exit talks accelerate

Liverpool gives priority to the acquisition of a 'top star', with conversations about Darwin Nunez's departure to accelerate, has claimed a report.

The Uruguayan has been associated with Napoli and Saudi Pro League Side al-Hilal, but a move to the Series A champions could be difficult with Liverpool that it was assumed to demand a fee in the £ 70 million region for the striker.

Nevertheless, it is said that a movement for the 26-year-old will soon be progressing.

According to the Athletic, Alexander Isak and Eintracht Frankfurt by Newcastle Hugo Ekitike 'prominently present in their thinking'. Although the report would like to emphasize that 'various factors' must tailor with the interest in developing.

It has also been claimed that Reds sports director Richard Hughes Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson admired when he operated as a transfer of Bournemouth in his previous role.

And a movement for the Senegal International would have been more realistic if he was not a blues player now.

In addition to the three attackers mentioned, the potential striking goals of Liverpool also include Viktor Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen and Joao Pedro.

Now, now for six weeks in the window, several of those names on their long list have already protected movements or are concluded with summer transfers.

Chelsea signed Pedro for £ 60 million at the start of the month, while Osimhen and Gyokees almost complete the movements to Galatasaray and Arsenal.

Elsewhere, Ekitike, who remains' prominent in the Premier League Champions' Thinking ', has been the subject of an offer from Newcastle, the home of one of their ideal goals ISAK.

Liverpool has already completed three important signing sessions this summer at large costs. Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Milos Kerkez have been signed for a combined £ 185 million.

The club has rejected at least two occasions for wing player Luis Diaz, which means that if this posture applies, the priority of the Reds is on adding a central striker, but given their financial edition, the sale of players may be needed.

And Nunez seems to be the most threatening departure. Last week, reports in Italy claimed that Napoli President Aurelio reported the Laurentiis to the personal conduct of transfer negotiations for the striker.

According to Corriere Dello Sport, the Laurentiis has personally spoke with Fali Ramadani, who mediates the deal.

Napoli is said to have an alternative to Nunez on the cards. Lorenzo Lucca van Udinese is also on the club's shortlist, but it is thought that the 24-year-old Italy international itself would cost £ 34 million.

Napoli, however, retains their interest in Nunez and has to decide whether they are willing to pay extra to sign him instead of Lucca.

The tragic death of Diogo Jota has probably also changed the club's plans for the rest of the window. The Portuguese was an important squadron member under Arne Slot in the previous term and, despite ties with a move, he was expected to play a different important role at Anfield this period.
