Liverpool work behind the scenes to replace Nunez amid new transfer development
Darwin Nunez is facing an uncertain Liverpool future beyond the end of this season.
The Uruguay striker has struggled to assert himself as a first-team regular under Arne Slot at Anfield and has found himself largely warming the bench and making sporadic starts.
It has led to reports that Liverpool are ready to cut their losses on their record signing, with Nunez seemingly edging further and further towards the Anfield exit door.
With interest heating up on the 25-year-old, Liverpool have a decision to make on Nunez’s future just three years after they signed him for a deal worth up to £84million.

With the uncertainty surrounding Nunez’s future at Anfield, Liverpool are actively working behind the scenes to find a replacement, the online news outlets has said.
The Merseyside-based club understand the importance of securing a top-quality striker to maintain their competitive edge, and this move would mark a significant shift in their attacking options for next season.
Liverpool have notably been linked with a move for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak already.
Nunez’s departure and Liverpool’s plans moving forward
Nunez, who arrived at Liverpool in a high-profile move, has shown flashes of brilliance but has faced criticism for his inconsistency.
As the summer transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether Forest will make a serious bid for the 25-year-old.
However, Liverpool’s preparation for potential departures indicates they are taking proactive steps to ensure their squad remains strong regardless of what happens with the former Almeria striker.
With major changes potentially on the horizon, Liverpool’s ability to replace Nunez effectively will be among one the most pressing points on the agenda this summer.
Arne Slot’s side lead the Premier League table with 70 points and are 12 points ahead of Arsenal, who are placed second.
As for Forest, they sit in third place with 54 points as they aim to secure a Champions League spot next season.
