Speculation surrounding Darwin Nunez’s future at Liverpool has intensified after the Uruguayan striker deleted all images of his time at Anfield from his Instagram page.
Reports in England suggest that Nunez, who was personally pursued by manager Jurgen Klopp, could be sold this summer amid interest from Barcelona.
Barcelona is reportedly in search of a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, and Nunez has emerged as a potential target.
The rumors gained momentum when Nunez was left out of the starting lineup for Liverpool’s recent 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, only coming on as a substitute for the final 15 minutes.
After the match, Nunez further fueled speculation by removing all photos related to Liverpool from his Instagram. The only mention of the Reds that remains is a tag in his bio.
While Nunez’s page still includes photos from his time at Benfica, all subsequent posts are either about his family or the Uruguay national team.
Liverpool signed Nunez from Benfica in 2022 for a reported fee of £85m, making him the club’s record signing.
However, there are concerns among some fans that Nunez has not lived up to expectations given the significant investment.
Despite this, Nunez has had a better season in terms of goals and assists compared to his debut campaign.
While a potential deal for Nunez would be challenging for Barcelona due to their financial struggles, the La Liga outfit may need to find a new striker if they fail to convince young talent Vitor Roque to remain at Camp Nou.
