Liverpool ‘have perfect Darwin Nunez upgrade’ as Victor Osimhen transfer ready
Darwin Nunez’s failed stint at Liverpool could potentially see Victor Osimhen replace him in the upcoming transfer window.
The Uruguay international signed for the Reds from Benfica in 2022, the same year Erling Haaland joined Manchester City.
Comparisons were being made between the 25-year-old and the Norway international, but it’s safe to say that Pep Guardiola’s team got the better deal.
Nunez is attracting interest from Atletico Madrid ahead of next summer, and the Merseyside outfit already have plans to reinforce its attack.
Osimhen transfer being worked on by Liverpool
Osimhen is attracting interest from the Reds ahead of the upcoming transfer window, according to TBR Football.
The news outlet reports (6 May) that the Merseyside outfit have done work on signing the Nigeria international from Napoli in the coming months.

After a dispute at the Serie A outfit, the 26-year-old joined Galatasaray on loan last summer but wants to move to England soon.
Slot’s team will have to prepare a bid of around £60million for the centre-forward, as the Italian club is reluctant to sell the striker for anything less than his release clause.
Nunez sale to fund Osimhen transfer at Anfield
Nunez should be sold at Anfield, with clubs in Saudi Arabia also eyeing the Uruguayan ace in recent months.
The Reds have the opportunity to cut their losses on the 25-year-old and should take it to fund reinforcements up top.
Diogo Jota is another player Slot has been unable to rely on this season due to his consistent fitness issues, making him a liability.
Liverpool must give the Dutch manager reinforcements in the upcoming transfer window after hardly spending any money recently.
Federico Chiesa is the only incoming signing the former Feyenoord head coach was given this season, making his achievements even more impressive.
Slot lifted the Premier League title with almost the same set of players Jurgen Klopp left.
The Dutch manager has shown he’s capable of sustaining success at Anfield and deserves to be backed by the management next summer.
Richard Hughes’ stint as sporting director has been underwhelming so far, but he can get the Merseysiders arguably the perfect upgrade for Nunez in Osimhen.
