I don't want forward to make Liverpool transfer - everyone would want him in the dressing room

After a flurry of business in this transfer window for Liverpool, another player who could be leaving soon is Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan international is rumoured to be in talks with clubs outside of England, most notably current Serie A champions Napoli. Liverpool's Federico Chiesa is also rumoured to return to Italy by joining them this summer.

"I just think he does so much more for the team and his teammates than fans or the press gives him credit for.' Since joining the Merseyside squad in 2022, Nunez has scored 25 goals, as well as making 15 assists in 95 appearances. However there have been several times where the forward should have added to that tally.

"The defenders don´t want to play against him, and that gives the other guys the space to do what they are doing.' Nunez has a contract with Liverpool until summer 2028, but with three years of the six-year deal complete, there are strong concerns about whether the entire term will be fulfilled. Johnson also said: 'But eventually, the numbers do count, and if he doesn´t have a big year now, he probably will be moved on.'

Other teams which are rumoured to be interested in the forward are Spanish outfit Atletico Madrid, and Saudi Pro League runners-up Al-Hilal.
