Serie A sides fight for Nunez

But now a new report in Caught Offside claims another three clubs in the Italian top flight want Nunez.

“Juventus, Roma, and Inter Milan all keeping tabs on the Liverpool striker this summer,” the report states.

Nunez came close to leaving Liverpool back in January - with two Saudi Pro League sides making attempts to sign him.

The Reds opted against selling Nunez back then as a result of too few replacements being available in the market. But the situation has changed slightly. Nunez would command an incredible salary in Asia but right now it’s not a move he appears willing to make.

Instead, he would be choosing to remain in Europe for football reasons. That’s because no Serie A side currently interested would be able to offer him a salary comparable to what he’s on at Liverpool.

“Any move for Nunez would require him to agree to a significant wage reduction to make the switch to Serie A,” the report states.

Nunez out, Osimhen in?

Nunez makes around £140k per week on a contract which sees him tied to Anfield until 2028.

He was Liverpool’s record signing - costing up to £85m - until the Reds topped that sum in the Florian Wirtz deal last week. It’s not worked our for Nunez at Anfield - despite his status as a Premier League champion.

If one of his many suitors in Italy can come forward with an appropriate bid then expect him to move this summer. Then we could see operation Osimhen activated once again.
