It's safe to say that Liverpool and their closest title rivals this season, Arsenal, enjoyed very different weeks.
While the Gunners were in Paris, crashing out of the Champions League, those back at Merseyside were metaphorically and quite literally on the beach.

Midfielder Alexis Mac Allister was pictured enjoying a sandy sun-kissed setting just a few days before their clash with Mikel Arteta's men on Sunday.
Truth be told, the opening to the game very much played out like one where both teams wanted the campaign to end.
Arsenal spurned early chances after lacklustre Liverpool defending and then the visitors did not cover themselves in glory across a two-minute spell from the 20th minute, where Arne Slot's side raced into a 2-0 lead.
While the Londoners came back into things courtesy of Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino, the result meant nothing for the Reds. They have, of course, already won the league.
Still, it wasn't without its drama. Trent Alexander-Arnold was booed after being brought on as a sub. He's not the only one who is likely playing his final minutes for the Anfield outfit though.

Who could leave Liverpool this summer
The most important news for Liverpool heading into the transfer window is that, despite Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid, they are keeping their other two most important assets.
Indeed, only a few weeks ago, both Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah signed new terms, ensuring that Slot's side should still be pretty strong next season.

That said, there could be sweeping changes elsewhere, notably in the forward line. Indeed, the future looks remarkably uncertain for winger Luis Diaz.
The Colombian has had a sensational term for Liverpool, scoring 17 goals and registering eight assists in all competitions. His form has attracted the interest of Barcelona, according to reports, and he could well be exiting in the summer.
Diogo Jota's future also remains unclear. The Portuguese has been a very underrated player since moving from Wolves but has arguably endured his toughest year at the club.

Jota has missed 18 games for club and country this term due to muscle problems and he's not been too consistent on the field either, finding the net on just nine occasions in 36 outings.
As a result, amid reported interest from the Saudi Pro League, it would not be a surprise if FSG agreed to sanction his departure without much hesitation.

What the future holds for Darwin Nunez at Liverpool
Has there been a more perplexing attacker in Liverpool history than Darwin Nunez? On his day, he's a world-beater, boasting pace and power to burst past the most resolute of defences. However, his finishing leaves a lot to be desired, particularly when he cost a club-record £85m.
Well, since that move, he's not exactly set the world alight in English football. Consequently, a move away could well be on the cards.
According to reports from Spain over the weekend, Nunez has already attracted two bids worth around £50m from Italian side Napoli and German team RB Leipzig.

It's revealed that the Reds are 'in no rush' to sell the player, but with Slot wanting to improve the options at his disposal this summer, that could be important cash gained.
First and foremost, that's a primary reason FSG must be open to bids this summer. While a move for Newcastle's Alexander Isak, now valued at £150m, is likely off the cards, Liverpool have been linked with Benjamin Sesko of the aforementioned Leipzig.

While the Slovenian is certainly raw, like Nunez was when he moved to Anfield, there is a belief that he could reach elite levels in the not-too-distant future, having netted 21 times in 2024/25.
The biggest reason for wanting to move the Uruguayan on, however, is that he's far too wasteful to play back up, let alone be the focal point of the team alongside Salah.

This season, Nunez has a measly goal tally of just seven in 45 appearances. The 25-year-old has only started eight league games as well. For someone who cost as much as he did, that simply isn't acceptable.
His record of missing big chances is also particularly poor.

To his credit, the £140k-per-week earner has improved in that regard this season, but the damage as far as his reputation in the Premier League was already done by the time the 2024/25 campaign had come around.
In the South American's first year, only Erling Haaland (28) and Marcus Rashford (22) missed more big chances, while last term, only Haaland (34), was worse. Now, the key difference here is that while the Norwegian powerhouse misses a lot of chances, he also puts them away at an incredible rate.
Salah has had an extraordinarily good season in front of goal this time around, bagging 33, and while he is unlikely to slow down too much next season, Liverpool need someone else to take on the goalscoring burden.
It's safe to say Nunez just isn't going to be that person. He should be sold with an upgrade sought.
