Farewell, Darwin Nunez, Liverpool's magnificently ridiculous footballer
In one respect, Darwin Nunez replaced Sadio Mane, in another Roberto Firmino. When he left the Anfield pitch, probably for the last time in a Liverpool shirt, he was replaced by Lewis Koumas. He was given a standing ovation by many, along with a final blast of the chant of 'Nunez', as he came off in Monday's pre-season friendly against Athletic Bilbao's second team. It was a fond farewell, but also an anticlimactic one for the man who, when he joined, arrived with the expectation that comes with being Liverpool's record signing. He had the deceptive debut, when he scored and Manchester City's striking newcomer Erling Haaland did not, in the Community Shield; since then the Uruguayan delivered another 39 goals in competitive games, the Norwegian 124. The comparison was long since abandoned. When each came to England in 2022, Nunez as Firmino's long-term successor and as Mane was joining Bayern Munich, it did not escape attention that he cost more than Haaland – an initial £64m, potentially £85m – albeit with a significantly lower salary. So a transfer to Al-Hilal for a guaranteed £46.2m, and perhaps more, represents both a significant loss and yet a fine bit of business by Liverpool. Napoli's lower offer entailed deferring the first payments until 2026; Nunez was AC Milan's top striking target but there was little prospect of them coming up with the best part of £50m. Selling Nunez to Al-Hilal seems a case of damage limitation. Those with a basic grasp of maths may note, too, that the fees being recouped for Nunez and Luis Diaz come to just over £110m, or about the amount Liverpool offered Newcastle for Alexander Isak. The applause at Anfield on Monday, however, was not for Liverpool's prowess at negotiating. Nunez goes having created memories, many of them unforgettable. He offered constant entertainment, much of it stemming from his innate unpredictability. There are compilation videos of many a forward's goals online; in Nunez's case, there are series of clips of his misses, some of them extraordinary. His goals could be brilliant, too, though one of the more pertinent comments came from Michael Owen after a chip at Brentford in February 2024: 'A one-in 10, two-in-10 finish at best,' he said, wondering why Nunez hadn't taken a simpler approach. But then, some would say, he wouldn't be Darwin Nunez. He was a magnificently ridiculous footballer. Before he was consigned to the bench by Arne Slot, every game seemed to revolve around Nunez. He was agent of chaos, force of nature, approaching the role of centre-forward in the manner of a runaway horse. Every now and again, a contrarian would argue that, actually, it was all planned, that Nunez knew what he was doing. Then he would do something quintessentially anarchic to show that was essentially uncontrollable and that no one – opponents, teammates, managers or Nunez himself – knew what was coming next. The definitive Nunez performance may have come in January 2024's 4-1 win against Chelsea. Nunez ran Chelsea ragged but didn't score. He did, however, contrive to hit the woodwork four times, a Premier League record for a single match. Which conformed to a theme: Nunez would average more shots per 90 minutes than anyone else in the division. He was so far clear in his first two seasons at Liverpool that he was essentially off the charts. It illustrated how hard he was to contain. Which Jurgen Klopp had noted when he troubled Virgil van Dijk in the 2022 Champions League tie against Benfica. Klopp always liked players with a super-strength, and Nunez's pace, height and relentlessness were three. But Klopp also had a huge influence in transfers back then; Liverpool's former director of research, Ian Graham, said the German preferred Nunez over Isak. He bought the Uruguayan as Michael Edwards was leaving: the sense is that Fenway Sports Group's data and statistics model did not point to Nunez as Firmino's successor. The red card on his Anfield debut, for headbutting Crystal Palace's Joachim Andersen, constituted a false start. Nunez's first two seasons brought 15 and 18 goals respectively – respectable but not remarkable – but with a question of where to use him and if he was reliable. He spent a spell in 2022-23 on the left wing, Klopp not really trusting him with the tactical demands of the role in the middle. In public, Klopp excelled at looking indulgent and understanding rather than frustrated with Nunez, even though his wayward finishing was often an issue. By the end, it felt as if even he gave up on Nunez, starting him in just one of his last seven games. He only began eight league matches under Slot, who preferred Diogo Jota and the converted winger Diaz as strikers. The Dutchman's football was less chaotic than Klopp's; he did not operate on the principle that if Nunez wreaked enough havoc, the goals would come, even if they were for someone else. He showed a willingness to rebuke Nunez in press conferences; the striker wanted to leave in January. He never learnt much English. It became clearer that a Klopp project did not suit Slot's style of football. Nunez scored a mere seven goals in 47 appearances last season (he left with seven in 57, going back further, and the goal before then was a clearance by Sheffield United keeper Ivo Grbic that rebounded in off his thigh). He departs the Premier League with the idiosyncratic stat that no one who hit the woodwork so often – 14 times – did so in anything like as few minutes. But, in their own way, the Liverpool crowd may miss him while opposing defenders may not: there were days when Nunez seemed unstoppable, except by his inability to hit the target. The Saudi Pro-League won't know what is about to hit it.

Ah, football... New signing hides surname to dodge rival link
Racing announced Marcos Rojo, but... they hid the new player's last name and presented him as "Marcos R". The reason is curious. Rojo (red in Spanish) is precisely the nickname of Racing's biggest rival, Independiente. So, what do you think about this? "Football breathes" or "fear of the rival"? Leave your comment! The topic, of course, sparked teasing on social media among Argentine fans. "They even get scared by the last name," wrote an Independiente fan. "Does he not have a last name?" questioned another sarcastically. Marcos Rojo (35 years old) has played for clubs like Estudiantes, Manchester United, and Boca Juniors, as well as the Argentine national team. He participated, for example, in the 2014 and 2018 World Cups. Marcos Rojo (or rather, Marcos R) signed a one-year contract with Racing. Initially, the defender will be able to play in the Libertadores. But the club is working to register him for national competitions.

Luis Henrique talks on idol Ronaldo and Inter ambition
New Inter signing Luis Henrique has wasted no time making an impression at the club, bringing energy, versatility and a touch of Brazilian flair to Cristian Chivu's side. Speaking to the Gazzetta dello Sport the winger reflected on his early days at Inter, his adaptability on the pitch and the high standards he is ready to embrace. Versatile Luis Henrique on varied roles The Brazilian was deployed as a central midfielder against Monaco and Henrique recalled, 'I did that at Marseille too with De Zerbi, the movements are different but I find myself comfortable. I'm available and I will go where the coach chooses and I try to learn: only seriousness and work count and, to help the team, I am ready to do absolutely anything.' PORTO ALEGRE, BRAZIL – DECEMBER 6: Luis Henrique of Botafogo looks at the ball during the match between Internacional and Botafogo as part of Brasileirao 2023 at Beira-Rio Stadium on December 6, 2023 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. (Photo by Pedro H. Tesch/Getty Images) This flexibility was tested in his first friendly, where Henrique saw clear signs of the squad's spirit: 'You can see this is a real team in every sense of the word. Having played in Ligue 1, I know how tough Monaco can be, but Inter came back with a man down. Not everyone can do that. Of course, the training is intense and you feel it in your legs but a strong team is being born.' Italy, and Milan in particular, have made a strong impression on him. 'One of the most beautiful countries in the world and one of the biggest clubs on the planet. In Italy you breathe history but Milan impressed me for its modernity and all the things to do: I want to discover it and make it feel more and more like home. For me, Inter also means Ronaldo 'il Fenomeno' – an idol, my favourite.' CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA – JUNE 30: Luis Henrique #11 of FC Internazionale Milano reacts during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 round of 16 match between FC Internazionale Milano and Fluminense FC at Bank of America Stadium on June 30, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by) Henrique talks Chivu and Dumfries challenge Under the guidance of new head coach Cristian Chivu, Henrique believes he is in capable hands, 'For me it is very important to have a coach like him. He has the soul of a player, so he understands what you need and what you feel inside. He gives me confidence and freedom to dribble: he wants me to play my football, to take risks, encourages me to try 1-on-1s. I'm learning a lot tactically, here positioning is really important but I think I can bring Brazilian joy, dribbling and a bit of audacity.' Competition for a starting spot will be fierce, particularly on the right but Henrique seems up for the challenge: 'It's the challenge I have been looking for at this stage of my career and I say that with the utmost admiration for Denzel. I've always dreamed of playing in a big team with great players, and that motivates me to find my space, with respect for everyone. Healthy competition helps, the greats teach you that.'
