Darwin Nunez picks two clubs as possible destinations as he plots Liverpool exit – Reports

Dawrin Nunez has reportedly decided to leave Liverpool this summer. The Uruguayan striker has picked Al Hilal or Atlético Madrid as his next club.

As per a report in Football Insider, Nunez is keen on leaving Liverpool after failing to break into Arne Slot’s starting XI. He wants to play regularly starting next season and believes an Anfield exit is the best way forward for his career.

Nunez had interest from Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr in January, and he was close to leaving for the Middle East. However, the Reds failed to get a replacement sorted and decided to reject the offer for the striker. Al Nassr signed Jhon Duran from Aston Villa, and that has seen their rivals Al Hilal show interest in Nunez. The Saudi Pro League defending champions are keen on getting the Uruguayan striker, and the former Benfica man is open to the move.

Atlético Madrid are also looking to add a striker and see the Liverpool star as a perfect fit for Diego Simeone’s system. The Reds are open to selling Nunez this summer and want £60 million for him. Liverpool see Ollie Watkins as the ideal replacement for the Uruguayan star, as per Football Insider.

John Arne Riise believes Liverpool should sell Darwin Nunez this summer. He wants them to sign Alexander Isak as the ideal replacement, as the Newcastle United star can help the side get more goals. He told Metro:

Darwin Nunez has scored just seven goals for Liverpool this season and has started only 16 times in all competitions. He has four assists in those games.
