Darwin Nunez makes Liverpool exit vow to ex-Uruguay team-mate as Reds prepare to accept major loss on out-of-favour striker

The Uruguayan striker had a tough 2024-25 campaign personally, struggling for game time under Arne Slot as the Reds won their second Premier League title. Nunez's former international team-mate Walter Gargano has now claimed that Nunez is ready to quit Anfield this summer and that a move to Napoli is in the offing - as the Daily Mail reports.

Gargano told radio station Kiss Kiss Napoli: "The warmth of the Neapolitans would do him a lot of good, I spoke to him about a week ago and I hope he really comes to Naples. He told me: 'Yes, I'll come to Naples right away. I'm waiting to close with Naples.'"

Napoli are one of several clubs said to be interested in Nunez as they seek to add more firepower to a squad that won the 2024-25 Serie A title. Kevin De Bruyne has already signed for Antonio Conte's side and there seems to be more money to spend on Premier League talent.

Liverool are already planning for life without Nunez, with Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres reportedly among their targets to replace the Uruguayan. German attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz has already arrived from Bayer Leverkusen for a British record transfer fee.
