The 25-year-old took five goals and three assists in the Premier League last season in another disappointing season for the striker who never really found his foot on Merseyside. It is no secret that the club is open to the sale of the Uruguayan this summer, because they try to claw the £ 85 million that they paid for him 3 years ago.
According to journalist Gianluca di Marzio, the Reds Napoli told that their asking price for Nunez is £ 43.2 million plus £ 4.3 million in bonuses. Other reports from Standard Sport suggest that Napoli has made an offer for Nunez if they try to reach that asking price.
However, transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that the supply will not be accepted and has revealed that the asking price is much higher than expected.
“€ 50 million would never be enough for Liverpool,” Romano explained on YouTube.
“But in the following days, in the next two weeks, Napoli is expected to try again for Darwin. He will remain their top goal.”
If Nunez were to complete a move to Napoli, he would join a number of ex-Prime Minister League stars, including former Manchester United midfielder Scott Mctominay, former Chelsea star Billy Gilmour and of course former Manshester City-Middenvielder.
However, Liverpool is reluctant to lose NUNEZ for less than € 60 million and no deal can be reached between the two parties before the season starts, so that Nunez can fight for his place under manager Arne Slot, who would probably rather see him leave despite taking a financial hit.
