According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool appear increasingly likely to move on from Darwin Nunez this summer, with plans for the striker's departure reportedly in place since February.

The Merseyside club rejected a €75 million bid from Saudi side Al Nassr in January, but all options are now understood to be under consideration as they prepare for a potential shake-up in attack.

Nunez, who joined from Benfica in 2022 in a deal worth up to £85 million, has endured an inconsistent spell at Anfield. Despite contributing 10 goals and 10 assists this season, the 25-year-old has struggled to establish himself as a reliable focal point in Liverpool's frontline, often drawing mixed reviews for his performances.

According to reports, Liverpool's recruitment strategy is already evolving, with Newcastle United's Alexander Isak emerging as a top target. The Reds are said to be weighing up a record-breaking move in the region of €150 million.

While no formal decision has been announced, the sense is that both club and player may be ready for a parting of ways. With the summer window approaching, interest from Europe and beyond is expected to intensify as Liverpool look to reshape their attack for the next chapter.
