As rumors about Darwin Nunez perhaps departing Liverpool this summer gain traction, the forward has hinted that he may do so by removing all of his Instagram images featuring Liverpool.
The £85 million striker has seen ups and downs in his season, and his wastefulness in front of goal has drawn increasing criticism.
Reds fans’ tolerance for the forward has worn thin as their dreams of providing Jurgen Klopp with a happily ever after have vanished.
Nunez’s most recent move has added credence to rumors that Liverpool may try to let Nunez go in the summer.
The Uruguayan international has deleted all of the images from his official Instagram page that showed him playing for Liverpool.
Darwin Nunez’s social media post has stoked rumors about his future at Liverpool.
All that’s left are photos of the striker with his family and while he was playing for Uruguay and Benfica.
Nunez is purportedly being considered by Barcelona as Robert Lewandowski’s replacement.
The renowned Polish striker scored a penalty in the first half of Saturday’s 4-2 loss to Girona at the Estadi Montilivi for Xavi’s team.
Real Madrid were declared La Liga champions for a record-breaking 36th time despite failing to secure three points, and Xavi may already be preparing for a summer makeover after losing the final match, according to sources.

Since arriving at the club in a £42.5m deal from Bayern Munich in 2022, Lewandowski has remained one of Barca’s highest-earners amidst ongoing financial troubles.
The 35-year-old still has two years remaining on his current deal, but Barca look set to attempt to offload him in the summer to ensure they comply with a £175m salary cap imposed by LaLiga earlier this season.
According to a report by The Sun, Barca feel like Nunez is capable of taking on the mantle and are prepared to meet Liverpool’s asking price for the Uruguayan forward.
Nunez is one of the best-paid players at Anfield but his wages – reported to be around £140,000-a-week – would still be significantly lower than what Lewandowski is currently earning.
The report also claims the player has expressed an interest in one day wearing the iconic blue and red shirt, but that he is happy with his current situation on Merseyside.
