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.
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.
Despite continuous financial difficulties, Lewandowski has remained one of Barca’s highest earners since joining the team in a £42.5 million trade from Bayern Munich in 2022.
Although the 35-year-old still has two years left on his current contract, Barca is expected to want to sell him in the summer in order to meet LaLiga’s £175 million pay ceiling, which was established earlier in the season.
The Sun said that Barca are willing to pay Liverpool’s asking price for Uruguayan attacker Nunez because they believe he can carry the team.
Even though Nunez is among the highest paid players at Anfield, his pay, which is reportedly approximately £140,000 per week, is still far less than what Lewandowski is currently receiving.
According to the article, the player is content with his current circumstances in Merseyside but has indicated an interest in donning the recognizable blue and red shirt in the future.
