The 25-year-old forward has struggled to find consistent form this season, raising questions about his future at Anfield. In 23 appearances across all competitions, the forward has managed to score only four times. Since joining Liverpool in 2022 for a fee potentially rising to £85 million, Nunez’s performances have often been inconsistent, despite flashes of brilliance.

Speculation earlier this week suggested that AC Milan were preparing a move for Nunez. Reports from Italy indicated the proposed deal would involve a six-month loan with a £41.5 million obligation to purchase in the summer. However, reports that the club has received no official contact from the Rossoneri regarding the striker.
DID YOU KNOW?
Manager Arne Slot has frequently opted to deploy Luis Díaz or Diogo Jota in the central striker role, relegating Nunez to the periphery of Liverpool's attacking lineup. However, Liverpool are reportedly reluctant to sanction any departures without securing a suitable replacement. With a congested schedule looming in the second half of the season, retaining squad depth will be crucial for the Reds.
