According to reports, Liverpool have ‘chosen a perfect replacement’ for Darwin Nunez as head coach Arne Slot is ‘losing patience’ with the striker.

Liverpool paid an initial fee of around £64m to sign Darwin Nunez from Benfica after he scored 34 goals in 41 appearances during the 2021/22 season.

Club chiefs ignored a ‘data warning’ to sanction this signing, which was ‘driven’ by former boss Jurgen Klopp.

Nunez has sparked in moments for Liverpool, but this gamble is not paying off as the Uruguay international has struggled to live up to expectations at Anfield.

The raw forward is often guilty of being wasteful in front of goal and he’s only made seven Premier League starts this season. He has four goals and three assists in his 24 appearances in all competitions.

A report from Caught Offside claims Liverpool and Slot are ‘losing patience’ with Nunez, who has been given a ‘warning’ by the head coach.
