Liverpool are reportedly open to selling striker Darwin Nunez for around €60million (£51m) this summer, despite previously rejecting a higher bid from Saudi Arabia. The 25 year old Uruguayan had a lacklustre season with the newly crowned Premier League champions and is expected to depart Anfield, with talks of a move already underway.

Despite a £60m offer from Al-Nassr in January, Nunez has shown no interest in moving to the Saudi Pro League at this point in his career. However, Italian clubs AC Milan and Napoli are both keen on the former Benfica player, who Corriere dello Sport reports is now valued at around £51m (€60m).

This valuation, similar to Liverpool's initial payment for Nunez in 2022, suggests a change in the club's stance towards selling their No. 9.

Liverpool are also eyeing up a new striker, with Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike on their radar. However, with a record-breaking £116m deal for Florian Wirtz in progress, player sales may be necessary to fund any further acquisitions.

Following a campaign where he made a mere eight Premier League starts under Arne Slot, Nunez is reportedly considering a summer transfer to revive his career. Despite uncertainty over Nunez's interest in a Serie A move, joining either of these top-tier clubs would enable him to maintain his presence in elite European football, reports the Mirror.

Nunez earned praise from Slot for his role in the Reds' title challenge, where he showed professionalism by accepting his limited playing time without dissent. Slot noted: "I don't know exactly what is going to happen. One of the main strengths we had this season is that everybody accepted his role.

"And his role sometimes could be to start every single game, hardly be taken off, sometimes be taken off. It could be sometimes not starting every single game, sometimes not playing hardly minutes."
