Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez’s Anfield career appears to be nearing its end, with Atletico Madrid emerging as a potential summer transfer destination.
The Uruguay international has struggled to make an impact under Arne Slot, playing just three minutes across the Reds’ last two Premier League matches.
Nunez’s Struggles at Liverpool
Nunez’s lack of form and attitude concerns have led to him being criticized by Slot and a Liverpool legend, who warned him that he must score at least one goal every two games to justify wearing the jersey.
With only six goals and five assists from 36 matches this season, Nunez’s future at Liverpool looks increasingly uncertain.
Atletico Madrid’s Interest in Nunez
According to reports, Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone is a great admirer of Nunez and wants to bring him to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

The La Liga title-chasers are seeking to strengthen their attacking options, with Antoine Griezmann’s future uncertain.
Nunez is one of three centre-forwards being considered by Atletico, along with Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta and Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Fabio Silva.
Nunez’s Liverpool Exit Looks Inevitable
Nunez’s departure from Liverpool seems increasingly likely, with the Reds likely to seek a replacement in the summer transfer window.
Despite his struggles, Nunez has shown glimpses of his talent, and Atletico Madrid may be willing to take a chance on the 25-year-old.
However, with a potential price tag of £85m, Liverpool will be seeking a significant return on their investment.
