Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez posted a cryptic message to social media as speculation over an Anfield exit ramps up. The Uruguayan has been the subject of speculation throughout the summer transfer window after coming under scrutiny during the weeks leading up to the Reds Premier League title triumph.
The 26-year-old was on target against Athletic Club during Monday's pre-season double header as he continued his goalscoring form during the pre-season schedule. In recent days, speculation over Nunez's future has intensified following reports of interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
However on Saturday, the ECHO reported that the Reds were still waiting for a fresh approach from Saudi Arabia and haven't received any opening bids from the region this summer. Al-Nassr saw a bid rejected in January as Liverpool looked to retain their attacking options for the run in but Napoli lodged an offensive this summer, though it was significantly short of their valuation.
Liverpool were at Anfield for the final time before their Premier League opener against AFC Bournemouth on August 15 but many speculated that it may be his last appearance in L4.
And Nunez's cryptic social media post intensified the speculation surrounding his future.
The Uruguayan posted a red heart emoji along with celebratory pictures from his goalscoring display against the Spanish outlet, including one tapping the Liverpool badge.
On Monday, it was reported that AC Milan had made contact with the former Benfica talisman's representatives.
Reports claimed that the Serie A giants had made the 26-year-old their top target with the Italian club looking to strengthen their squad and restore their place at the summit for the first since 2021/22.
