An "unbelievable" Liverpool player is now reportedly "ready" to complete a move to a major club who have met the Reds in multiple major finals.
Players who could leave Liverpool this summer
For all the current stories linking the Premier League champions with new signings, constant speculation is also rife regarding outgoing moves in the summer transfer window.
Andy Robertson is reportedly keen on a shock move to La Liga giants Atletico Madrid, with some claiming that he is a "top target" for them. The 31-year-old wasn't at his best last season, and Milos Kerkez is expected to join Liverpool from Bournemouth, but seeing him leave would still be a surprise.
Elsewhere, the likes of Kostas Tsimikas, Jarell Quansah, Harvey Elliott and Darwin Nunez are far from guaranteed to be at Anfield next season, with Elliott arguably hinting the most about a new challenge: "I’m coming into an age now where I’m 22, I’m gonna be 23 next season, and I don’t really want to be wasting years in my career because it’s a short career, you don’t know what’s gonna happen.
"Injuries and things could shorten it. So I think it’s a situation that, as I’ve said before, I need to reflect, I need to see if I’m content in doing what I’m doing and how can I improve as a player."
Liverpool attacker "ready" to leave Anfield
Now, according to Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy [via Sport Witness], Liverpool striker Nunez is now "ready" to secure a move to AC Milan this summer, moving to the Reds' 2005 and 2007 Champions League final opponents.
Milan are dreaming of snapping up a "big No.9" and the £140,000-a-week Uruguayan has emerged as a target, even though his wages could be expensive for both themselves and fellow suitors Napoli.
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez
Nunez moving on from Liverpool this summer is the right decision for everyone concerned, with the 25-year-old ultimately not good enough over the past three years.
Arne Slot has made it clear that he doesn't see him as a key part of his plans, simply by not picking him often, even though his assist for Elliott's winner away to Paris Saint-Germain last season was described as "unbelievable" by Ally McCoist during commentary on the game.
Liverpool need to sign a higher calibre of striker before next season gets underway, unless Slot plans to use Florian Wirtz as a false nine, and Nunez can still generate a healthy amount of money for the Reds.

Liverpool could be about to forget about Hugo Ekitike with a move for another talisman.
While clearly a popular figure among the fanbase because of his personality and work ethic, the Merseysiders must be ruthless with him, and Milan could be an ideal destination.
