Liverpool Plans to Move On from Darwin Nunez, Eyes Victor Osimhen as Replacement
Liverpool are preparing to part ways with Darwin Nunez this summer. The Reds are targeting Napoli's Victor Osimhen as their new striker.
Liverpool are preparing to move on from Darwin Nunez in the upcoming summer transfer window. The Uruguayan forward has been with the club since 2022 but seems set to leave Anfield. Despite his potential, Nunez has struggled to make an impact, scoring just five Premier League goals last season and starting only one league game under Arne Slot in 2025. He recently turned down a move to Al-Hilal, expressing his desire to stay in Europe. Should Nunez depart, Liverpool are eyeing a new striker, with Victor Osimhen emerging as a top target. The Nigerian striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has had an impressive season, netting 37 goals in 41 games and helping his team secure a league and cup double. Osimhen, still under contract with Napoli, is reportedly available for €70m. Liverpool face competition from Manchester United for his signature, but recent reports suggest Osimhen is a key target for manager Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes.
