Darwin Núñez has sparked a frenzy among Liverpool fans with his recent social media activity, just days after the club reportedly received their ‘first offer’ for him.

Liverpool fans have been buzzing on social media following Darwin Núñez’s apparent activity on Instagram. The Reds have made an impressive start to the 2024/25 season under new manager Arne Slot, topping both the Premier League and UEFA Champions League tables. However, despite the team’s strong performance, rumors of players potentially leaving have started circulating with the January transfer window now open.

Last week, it was reported that AC Milan had made an offer for Núñez, who has struggled since his high-profile transfer from Benfica in 2022. According to Italian outlet AC Milan TMN, the Italian club has approached Liverpool with a proposal for a loan deal, which includes an obligation to buy. Milan is said to be offering €5 million upfront for the six-month loan, with a total buy-out clause of €45 million.

On Thursday, fans noticed that Núñez had ‘liked’ an Instagram story featuring an image of him wearing a Milan shirt, sparking speculation. One fan joked, “Darwin Nunez liking an Instagram story post linking him with AC Milan…The transfer window has well and truly opened,” while another commented, “Think we are being a bit dramatic over an Instagram like lads.” A third fan suggested, “Sell and buy Isak or Gyokeres.”

Núñez has scored just four goals and registered three assists in 23 appearances across all competitions this season, trailing behind teammates like Mohamed Salah, Luis Díaz, Cody Gakpo, and Diogo Jota in Slot’s lineup.

Earlier in the season, Slot discussed Núñez’s role, acknowledging his work rate despite not hitting his goal-scoring targets: “He has impact. He hasn’t scored as many goals as he’d like, but he’s part of a team that scores a lot and is winning. I don’t just judge players on goals; I also look at their work rate and what they bring to the team.”
