Speculation is rife that new arrivals could be making their way to Merseyside in the coming months, while others may be in negotiations to extend their stay. With each new signing, the competition for places intensifies, and while some players thrive under the pressure, others find themselves sidelined. It’s no secret that the top clubs in the world foster fierce competition, even within their training camps, and Liverpool is no exception.
Amidst the new arrivals and ongoing contract talks, a few players could be preparing to bid farewell to the Reds. With a constantly evolving squad, balancing game time and opportunities is always a challenge for top clubs, and Liverpool may soon see some departures as the squad continues to reshape for the future.
Darwin Nunez could join Diego Simeone’s side in the Spanish Capital
Darwin Nunez has had his share of tough times this year. After the controversial Copa America game against Columbia, the Uruguayan is finding it hard to get game time under Arne Slot. Amid this nervy situation, Todofichajes has mentioned the possibility of Atletico Madrid bidding for Nunez. Although there are no solid intentions of Nunez leaving the Reds as of yet.
Nunez currently has a market value between €45 million to €70 million. After the recruitments of Julian Alvarez and Conor Gallagher, the striker will be a great addition to their offence. Nunez could also link up with his fellow countryman José Giménez if he chooses to move. Moreover, he will be joining an elite list of Uruguayan strikers who played for Atletico alongside Luis Suarez and Diego Forlàn.
