Nunez set for summer Liverpool exit: reports

While the Uruguayan forward remains committed to Liverpool until July 2028, recent reports suggest the club is open to offers, with a departure becoming a realistic possibility. Despite receiving bids exceeding £62 million from Saudi clubs, Liverpool rejected those proposals, indicating they were not prepared to part ways mid-season.

However, the player's inconsistent performances under new manager Arne Slot have only fuelled speculation about his future. With Liverpool looking to refresh their attacking options, they are reportedly considering Newcastle's Alexander Isak as a replacement. The Swedish international has also attracted interest from Arsenal, setting up potential competition in the summer transfer window.

Liverpool's stance on Nunez appears to have softened in recent months, with a price tag of around £60 million now being mentioned for the striker. While Saudi Arabian clubs remain an option, Premier League side West Ham have also emerged as a possible destination.

The London club, keen to strengthen their attacking department, could provide him with the opportunity to remain in England's top flight.

With Liverpool's summer rebuild taking shape, the 25-year-old's departure would significantly shift the club's attacking philosophy. Whether he moves to the Premier League or abroad, his future remains a key talking point as Liverpool strategise for the post-Jurgen Klopp era.
