Darwin Núñez is expected to have a prolific season in front of Liverpool’s goal through Sergio Agüero.
Nunez is set to lead Liverpool’s line when he begins his post-Jurgen Klopp era in 2024/25. Arne Slot intentionally contacted the Uruguayan foreigner to assure him of his importance to the team after some difficult periods last season.
The 25-year-old striker has contributed 33 goals and 17 assists in 96 appearances since moving from Benfica for £85m two summers ago. But his stats seem forged despite the ups and downs in his game, which come with high-profile missed opportunities and dips in confidence.
Despite possessing great speed and athleticism, Núñez has been criticized for his inconsistent finishing and lack of composure. However, Agüero, one of the most productive goalscorers the Premier League has ever seen, believes a purple spot is just around the corner for Núñez.
“It’s who you have to give credit to: I do it [seeing Darwin Núñez having an intelligent season]. He’s a damaging player lurking behind the posts,” he told Stake. com.
“Every season, he hones his game. . . and as long as he does not allow himself to be overtaken by the anxiety of a dry spell, Darwin will be a prolific goalscorer in due course. Darwin needed time to solidify, and faster. or later I would succeed. “
Nunez is back at Liverpool after being given extra time to recover following the Copa America. He scored two goals in the tournament to help Uruguay finish in third place and started Liverpool’s 0-0 draw against Las Palmas at Anfield on Sunday.

However, Liverpool are yet to make any moves in the summer window and are lately focusing on a No. 6 midfielder, with Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi and free agent Adrien Rabiot among those considered.

Asked about possible arrivals before the Aug. 31 window closed, Slot said on Sunday: “I think as a club like ours we’re looking at whether we can strengthen the team. But it’s not that easy to strengthen the team if you look at today’s two games.
“I have already said several times that I have inherited a very strong team and that if we can and if we believe it is possible, we will be the team. But only if we believe that we can and if we can.
