Newcastle United Want The Out Of Form Liverpool Player: Should They Sell Him? | OneFootball

Liverpool will still be looking to have transformations in the squad after being the favourites to win the Premier League this season. They will want a squad with more depth to compete in all competitions next season. Some of the players with underperformance might be shipped off from Anfield, and one of them might be Darwin Nunez.

Newcastle United Want Liverpool Striker Darwin Nunez:

The Uruguayan was in sensational form for Benfica, which prompted the Reds to sign the striker. However, since making the move to Anfield, he has struggled to find the back of the net consistently and has been nowhere close to the quality that he displayed during his tenure at Benfica. However, many clubs are still interested in signing the player.

Newcastle United want a striker because Alexander Isak has been linked to a lot of clubs in the summer. TEAMtalk has reported that the Magpies are interested in signing Nunez from Liverpool. Football Insider has also revealed that Liverpool are planning to use Nunez in a deal to sign Isak.

The striker is a chaotic whirlwind of a striker, Liverpool’s Uruguayan dynamo who keeps fans on edge. He is a physical beast—blisteringly quick, powerful, and relentless in chasing lost causes. Nunez’s finishing can be erratic, swinging from jaw-dropping golazos to head-scratching misses, but when he clicks, he is unstoppable. The Uruguayan thrives in the box, attacking crosses with venom, and his off-ball runs rip defenses apart. He has flair too—cheeky flicks and audacious shots pepper his game. Still polishing his raw edges at 25, Nunez’s heart-on-sleeve passion and sheer unpredictability make him a thrilling, if wild, talent.

The Liverpool man has scored 5 goals in 23 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. Overall, Nunez’s goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.47. Moreover, his total G/A (goals + assists) is 7 for this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.65 per 90 minutes. The Uruguayan’s non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.48.

Should the Reds sell him?

Liverpool should have no hesitation in selling the player. They need to cut their losses regarding the investment in Nunez. Moreover, if they are able to sign Alexander Isak by offering Nunez in the deal, then it will be mind-blowing. The Swede is currently in the form of his life and is scoring goals consistently. He is one of the best strikers in the world. So, I am on for the deal on a good price.
