A European giant is in “direct contact” with Liverpool over the signing of failed striker Darwin Nunez in January, and the Uruguayan’s potential replacement could come from the Premier League, according to reports.
Núñez, 25, earned Liverpool £64m (rising to £85m through add-ons) when he was bought from Benfica two and a half years ago. If Núñez completes the maximum of these complements, he will be Liverpool’s most beloved signing. , surpassing Virgil Van Dijk’s mark of £75 million.
Unfortunately for the Reds, Nunez didn’t play like a record-breaking purchase and his scraps in front of goal, asymmetrical link play and struggles to stay in general remain consistent resources of frustration.
Arne Slot wasted little time installing Diogo Jota as his go-to man to lead the line prior to his rib injury. Nunez initially deputised in Jota’s absence, though not to any great effect. More recently, Luis Diaz has proven a revelation as a makeshift centre-forward while Jota is eased back into the fold.
According to a new update of the Italian media AC Milan TMN, Liverpool has the opportunity to end the turbulent Núñez stage in Anfield with the 50 million euros song (41. 5 million pounds sterling / 52 million dollars ).
It has been affirmed that AC Milan has established negotiations with Liverpool on a six -month loan that would imply a legal purchase responsibility.
According to the report, Milan will offer a €5 million loan to sign Nunez for six months in January, with the deal becoming permanent for an additional €45 million this summer.
Regarding X, the media said: “AC Milan is in direct contact with Liverpool FC regarding Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez for their attack before next summer.
“The Rossoneri offers for the former Benfica player is a loan of five million euros with a legal responsibility to buy forty-five million euros and the Reds’ plan to establish themselves due to the upheavals encountered through Uruguayo in recent years. “
Núñez a replacement not used in 5-0 victory opposite West Ham on Sunday. With Jota now back in the race after his rib injury, the importance of Núñez can fall at the time in the part of the season.
Nonetheless, it would still come as something of a surprise to see Liverpool sell a first-team player in the January window given they’re still competing for trophies on four fronts.
Strength in intensity will be the key story and recent Jurgen Klopp years have shown how temporarily a once-promising season can explode once injuries and a build-up of fixtures affect its price.
However, a package totaling £41. 5m may prove tempting for Liverpool given Nunez’s continued struggles since his move to Anfield. A deal would also pave the way for the Reds to sign a more reliable replacement next month or this summer.
On this front, Mail Online recently showed that Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap is in Liverpool’s prospects.
Ipswich signed the 21-year-old striker from Manchester City last summer in a deal worth up to £20m. Man City have a buy-back clause in Delap’s contract, while Chelsea and Manchester United are also known to be monitoring the player.
Clearly, Liverpool wouldn’t have a deal all to themselves if making a move, though Ipswich are relatively powerless to prevent an exit.
Aside from City’s buy-back clause, there is also a release clause in Delap’s contract for other clubs. How much the clause is set at was not divulged by Mail Online.
Delap is Ipswich’s top scorer this season, with his mark of six goals at least double the amount returned by every other player in Kieran McKenna’s squad.
Another Liverpool striker has proven to be Omar Marmoush of the Eintracht Frankfurt.
Sky Germany had revealed in the past that Mohamed Salah’s Egyptian teammate would readily agree to sign for Liverpool if the opportunity presented itself.
A subsequent update revealed that Liverpool had lost their interest and the sale of Marmoush in the summer of 2025 was classified “probable”.
Marmoush has been in an impossible form to resist this season, scoring 18 goals and offering 12 assists in 30 appearances for Frankfurt.
In addition, the state of online email, Fulham, is a technique to point out Wataru endo in January.
The Holding midfielder has struggled mightily in the minutes since Arne Slot took the fee and Fulham can launch a resolution if Liverpool imply they are willing to do business.
On the other hand, several reports say that Real Madrid could land in Liverpool in the removable market.
Whites only chase Trent Alexander-Arnold, but now they have entered the race by Martin Zubimendi-the Liverpool Objective of Liverpool last summer.
In the past, Real Madrid had denied Liverpool their most sensible goals in midfield in the 2022 (Aurelien Tchouameni) and 2023 (Jude Bellingham) summer windows.
They may now pull off a hat-trick with Zubimendi and the Spanish giant has two distinct benefits over the Reds.
