The first club has made an offer for Darwin Nunez, causing a split among the entire Liverpool fanbase.

Liverpool have reportedly received an initial transfer offer for forward Darwin Nunez. Nunez, who joined the Reds from Benfica for £85 million in the summer of 2022, has faced challenges with consistency in front of goal. Last season, he scored 11 goals and provided eight assists in the Premier League but has struggled this season, managing only four goals in 23 appearances across all competitions. With Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo often preferred up front when available, Nunez has found his starting spot less secure.

 

Despite not meeting his personal goal tally, manager Arne Slot has praised Nunez’s work rate and contribution to the team, stating earlier this season: “He has impact. He hasn’t scored as many goals as he’d like, but his work-rate and involvement in a team that scores a lot are important.”

 

Now, reports suggest that Liverpool could sell Nunez in the January transfer window. Italian outlet AC Milan TMN claims that AC Milan has approached Liverpool with an offer for a loan deal with an obligation to buy. Milan is reportedly offering €5 million for a six-month loan, with a total obligation to buy worth €45 million. While this would generate funds for Slot to reinforce his squad, it would represent a significant financial loss compared to the original fee paid for Nunez, a situation that has divided Liverpool fans.

 

AC Milan are currently in the Champions League but are struggling in Serie A, sitting eighth and nine points behind the top four, though they have two games in hand. Manager Paulo Fonseca, whose job was under scrutiny earlier in the season, is reportedly looking to Nunez to help Milan strengthen their fi
