Darwin Nunez seems to have reached the end of the ups and downs in Liverpool. As revealed by his former teammate at Penarol, midfielder Walter Gargano, the Uruguayan striker chose the next stop: Napoli.
Darwin Nunez has finished selecting the next stop
After 3 turbulent seasons at Anfield, Darwin Nunez is about to break up with the “Red Brigade”. The last season was the most difficult time, when he only played 8 matches in the Premier League and scored only 7 goals in all competitions.
Napoli, Atletico Madrid and Al Hilal have all placed interest, but the Serie A champion is emerging as the most possible destination. According to the prestigious transfer pen Alfredo Pedulla, Napoli sent a proposal worth 43 million euros, almost reaching the number of 50 million euros that Liverpool requested, not to mention the extra terms.

Walter Gargano, who used to wear Napoli in the period of 2007–2015, shared on Kiss Kiss Napoli: “I talked to Darwin about a week ago. I told him: 'Come Napoli!' And he replied: 'I will come immediately. I am waiting to finish with Napoli'. The enthusiasm of the Naples people will be very good for Darwin.”
Since Liverpool spent £ 64 million to bring him back from Benfica in 2022, Nunez has always brought a hard -to -solve puzzle. He has speed, power, capable of goalscores, but all have never become a true scoring machine.
33 goals after the first two seasons were not bad achievements, but in the last season, Nunez gradually lost his position. Despite leaving a mark, like a double against Brentford in the injury time in January, he was still a double -ditch under Arne Slot, after being used by Jurgen Klopp more.
The Dutch coach has repeatedly criticized Nunez's attitude. After the Aston Villa draw in February, where Nunez missed the golden opportunity to decide the match, Slot did not hesitate to say frankly: “I can accept all the slipes, but I cannot accept the lack of effort. With a striker, missing the opportunity is normal. But you cannot let it affect the entire part of the match.
He is no longer Darwin who always runs tired, always fighting hard. After a moment, he seemed to turn into someone else.
Look at Wataru Endo. The whole season, he did not complain, always ready and fought non -stop. That is the spirit that I want the players to have ”.
