The 26-year-old failed to win over Arne Slot during the Dutchman's first season in charge - scoring only five Premier League goals and dropping out of the starting lineup completely in the second half of the campaign.

It has been speculated that Nunez could therefore be surplus to requirements - with Liverpool intending to sign a new No9 in his place.

Alexander Isak, of course, appears to be first choice in that regard but Liverpool will have to stump up another British record sum to land the £150m-rated Swede.
Liverpool willing to sell Darwin
Nunez's sale could therefore bring in some very welcome transfer income for sporting director Richard Hughes to follow on from the departure of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich.
The striker is rated at around £70m - with the club having fielded bids from Saudi Arabia in January and Al-Hilal are again at the table this summer.
It is believed that Nunez favours a move to a European club but has already seen potential transfers to Atletico Madrid and Napoli disintegrate.

Update On Tottenham Hotspur And Their Pursuit Of This Atletico Madrid Ace: Good Option For Frank?
In a recent report, Fichajes offered an update on Tottenham Hotspur and their pursuit of Atletico Madrid ace Conor Gallagher this summer. It is understood that Spurs are prepared to launch a €50m move to sign the English midfielder this summer. Gallagher's Decent Form In La Liga The 25-year-old enjoyed a good campaign at the Wanda Metropolitano recently after he produced a series of eye-catching displays at the heart of Diego Simeone's midfield. Gallagher found the back of the net four times and earned six assists in 50 appearances for Atletico Madrid last season in all competitions. The English talent offered decent protection for his teammates at the back as he made 45 tackles, 23 blocks and 20 interceptions in La Liga. He was even tidy when distributing possession from midfield, based on his pass completion rate of 85% in the top tier of Spanish football (stats via Gallagher's current contract at the Spanish club will run out in the summer of 2029. Thus, Spurs would have to make a convincing offer if they want to get a deal done for him. MADRID, SPAIN – MARCH 16: Conor Gallagher of Atletico de Madrid reacts during the La Liga EA Sports match between Atletico de Madrid and FC Barcelona at Riyadh Air Metropolitano on March 16, 2025 in Madrid, Spain. (Photo by Florencia) Is Gallagher A Good Option For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank? Gallagher is a solid tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to make some important interceptions for his team at the centre of the park. He doesn't mind putting his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot and is a good passer of the ball as well. The English talent can even chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from midfield. He has got plenty of experience in the Premier League and is well-equipped to make an immediate impact at the North London club. Gallagher would bring more energy and dynamism to Tottenham boss Thomas Frank's midfield. He is more than capable of securing a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season. At 25, Gallagher has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a good option for Spurs to consider in this transfer window. Therefore, it makes sense for Frank to try everything in his power to lure him to North London ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

Rennes sign Przemyslaw Frankowski on loan from Galatasaray
Rennes have signed Przemyslaw Frankowski (30) on loan from Turkish Süper Lig giants Galatasaray, both clubs have announced. The deal includes an option to make Frankowski's move permanent. Rennes were in the market for a right-sided fullback after parting ways with Academy product Lorenz Assignon, who joined Stuttgart earlier in the summer. Frankowski is therefore back in Ligue 1 only six months after leaving Lens for Galatasaray. The Pole is the third summer signing for Rennes, after Valentin Rongier and Quentin Merlin. Furthermore, the 30-year-old wing-back is the third former Lens player signed by Rennes president Arnaud Pouille, the former RC Lens CEO, after Brice Samba and Seko Fofana, who joined Brittany during the winter transfer window.
