Darwin Nunez's future at Liverpool continues to be the subject of speculation as the summer transfer window rolls on. The Uruguay international has been heavily linked with a move away from Anfield this summer, with clubs across Europe and the Saudi Pro League mentioned as potential suitors.
Nunez scored just seven goals for Liverpool last term but did play a key role in helping the Reds win the Premier League title. However, speculation is continuing to swirl that the 25-year-old's time on Merseyside may be coming to an end after three campaigns.
With Nune'z future at Liverpool being in doubt, the Reds have also been frequently linked with signing a potential replacement for the No.9 this summer. A host of names have already been linked with a move to Anfield.
Here, the ECHOtakes a look at the latest on Nunez's future at Liverpool amid continued rumours of a potential exit.
Three clubs track Liverpool striker
As the ECHO reported earlier this month, three clubs are showing an interest in signing Nunez this summer.
Napoli, AC Milan and Atletico Madrid are all tracking the Uruguay international with a view to potentially submitting an offer.
Unnamed clubs from the Saudi Pro League have also been credited with an interest in signing Nunez, but it seems that move to a European club seems the most likely at this stage.
Napoli chance
Fabrizio Romano has reported on X, formerly known as Twitter, that Napoli are in "direct contact" with Liverpool over signing Nunez.
This update comes after Nunez is said to have given his approval of a move to the reigning Serie A champions, provided a fee can be agreed with Liverpool.
'Replacement' identified
Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg has claimed that Napoli have a "good chance" of signing Nunez this summer.
The report also hints that Liverpool view Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike as the player they may target if Nunez leaves the club.
The report does claim, though, that the Reds will have to battle Manchester United and Chelsea for Ekitike's signature.
