Darwin Nunez Under Fire: Liverpool Set Sights on Brighton’s Joao Pedro as Replacement

Darwin Nunez ongoing drought for scoring goals before Liverpool’s staff has brought critical concerns to the club as the striker weighs options for club transfer elsewhere.

The open goal miss against Aston Villa has left Manager Arne Slot highly frustrated because of Nunez’s poor finishing ability which also seemed to erode his confidence and motivation. The mistake perhaps marked the end for Slot due to an unsatisfactory year for the 25-year-old.

Transfermarkt shows Nunez has scored six goals and made five assists during his 36 matches in every competition. The disappointing performance of Nunez fails to reach Liverpool’s demanding goals for high standards. Nunez faces an uncertain future following his declining performance results which have raised the possibility of an imminent departure during summer.

Atletico Madrid reportedly showcases interest in signing the forward according to team transfer reports that also point towards a possible Saudi Pro League destination for Nunez. TeamTalk released information about Diego Nunez considering a Saudi Pro League move which reportedly drove Liverpool to start their frontline reinforcement search.

Liverpool Eye Joao Pedro To Replace Darwin Nunez

Liverpool has already identified Joao Pedro from Brighton as their target to replace Nunez who could depart this summer. The Club views Pedro at 22 years old as their preferred selection to enhance their attack after assessing the weak performance of Nunez together with their other forward acquisitions.

A potential deal for Joao Pedro will intensify after Nunez departs Anfield either through official transfer or an end to his time at the club.

The Liverpool club executive team must handle the simultaneous task of finding an acceptable replacement for their disappointing player because Manchester United needs a striker who delivers results at their demanding stadium.
