Darwin Núñez’s future at Liverpool appears increasingly uncertain, with Nottingham Forest emerging as the first club to make a concrete move for the Uruguayan striker.
According to Fichajes, Forest have submitted a formal offer of €60 million to Liverpool in an attempt to secure his signature.
With new Liverpool manager Arne Slot preparing for his second season in charge, reports suggest that Núñez does not fit into the Dutchman’s plans for the future.
Slot’s apparent lack of confidence in the 24-year-old has opened the door for his potential departure, and Nottingham Forest have wasted no time in expressing their interest.
The Tricky Trees are eager to reinforce their attack with a top-tier goal scorer and believe Núñez could be a transformative signing for their project. This, despite Nunez scoring just seven goals in 40 appearances this season.
While he has shown flashes of brilliance at Liverpool, inconsistency and fierce competition for places have prevented him from cementing himself as the club’s main attacking force.
Nottingham Forest pushing to finalise deal before summer
Nottingham Forest is determined to get the deal done as quickly as possible and has already initiated discussions with Liverpool.
The €60 million offer could prove tempting for the Reds, especially if Núñez is not in Slot’s long-term vision for the squad.
However, while Forest has taken the first step, a deal is not yet finalised.
Núñez remains a player of high potential, and other clubs could soon enter the race to sign him. With his physicality, work rate, and ability to stretch defences, the Uruguayan remains an attractive target for several European sides looking to strengthen their attack.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Núñez stays in the Premier League with a new club or if fresh opportunities arise elsewhere.
For now, Nottingham Forest are leading the charge, but the summer transfer window promises to bring further developments in this evolving saga.
Liverpool are reportedly confident they can sign Newcastle United hitman Alexander Isak although time will tell whether or not the Reds are truly prepared to spend over £100m to make it happen.
