Liverpool are almost certain to sign a new number 9 in the upcoming transfer window. Darwin Nunez has not started a league game since March, and it is clear Arne Slot has lost faith in him. Bringing in a top striker is a priority for the Reds, and several names are being assessed ahead of the summer.
Nunez seems to be running out of time at Liverpool and is almost certain to leave the club in the summer transfer window as part of their plans for next season.
The striker, who attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League in the winter window, is open to moving to Saudi Arabia in the summer window as part of the next step in his career.
Alexander Isak is Liverpool’s top target, but the Reds are also positioning themselves to sign another top striker who Jurgen Klopp wanted to sign in 2020.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
The Reds could get the striker for half his price
Victor Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli last summer and has been scoring goals for fun in Turkey this season.
The 26-year-old striker is almost certain to join one of the big names of European football in the next window, with Napoli keen to move him on a permanent deal.
According to Anfield Watch, Liverpool are keeping tabs on Osimhen’s situation with a view to potentially signing him in the summer transfer window.
Napoli were demanding £100m for him last summer, but are expected to sell him for anywhere between £50m to £60m in the upcoming transfer window.
Jurgen Klopp wanted to sign the striker in 2020, but was beaten to his signature by Napoli. However, five years later, the forward could end up at Anfield.
