Juventus are reportedly preparing to make a €60 million offer to Liverpool for Darwin Nunez. As they look to gauge the club’s position on the Uruguayan striker, who has shown fluctuating form.
According to Fichajes, Juventus are keen on acquiring Nunez and are willing to pay the aforementioned sum for the forward. Although Liverpool’s stance on his future remains uncertain.
The Reds are considering significant changes to their squad during the upcoming transfer window, which could include reshuffling their attacking options.
Liverpool are expected to make some notable adjustments to their squad, some of which may be out of necessity. Key players like Trent Alexander Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah are all potentially on the way out, with their contracts nearing expiration.

Furthermore, manager Arne Slot appears unconvinced by the current forward options, including Nunez and Diogo Jota.
While there have been rumors about Jota’s possible departure. It seems Liverpool are more inclined to part ways with Nunez than the Portuguese forward. However, there has also been speculation of interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, leading to suggestions that Liverpool may opt to keep Nunez.
Ultimately, the club’s intentions for the Uruguayan remain unclear, especially after rejecting AC Milan’s interest in January.
Juventus look to replace Dusan Vlahovic with Darwin Nunez ?
Juventus are now entering the picture, viewing Nunez as a potential replacement for Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic. The Italian club is prepared to offer €60 million to test Liverpool’s resolve and to give Nunez a prominent role in their attack.

Any deal will hinge on both Nunez’s preferences for his future and Liverpool’s decision regarding the striker’s long-term position at Anfield.
The arrival of Randal Kolo Muani at Juventus has complicated Dusan Vlahovic’s situation. With the Serbian striker now relegated to a secondary role in the team.
Reports suggest that Arsenal are monitoring Vlahovic’s situation ahead of the summer transfer window. Should a substantial bid come in, Juventus may be willing to part with the forward. Especially if they secure Kolo Muani on a permanent deal.
In the event of Vlahovic’s departure, Juventus will be eager to find a suitable replacement. Nunez is considered a strong candidate, as the club believes his style of play would complement their attacking setup.
