Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is edging closer to a potential move to Napoli, with the Uruguayan reportedly seeking a transfer to the Serie A side this summer.
Despite receiving multiple offers, the 25-year-old has made clear his preference for a switch to the Serie A champions, according to Football Italia.
Sources with direct knowledge of the situation confirm that Nunez is Napoli’s top transfer target, and the club is prepared to offer between 42-43 million euros for the striker.
However, Liverpool are holding firm with a valuation closer to 50 million euros, meaning negotiations remain ongoing between the two clubs.
Napoli are committed to landing the ex-Benfica forward and are unlikely to explore alternative striker options until Nunez’s future is resolved.
Their strategy underscores how highly the Partenopei rate the Uruguayan international, who they believe can lead their attack in the coming seasons.
To facilitate the move, Napoli may look to fund the deal by offloading key players, with Victor Osimhen’s name frequently mentioned as a likely candidate to depart.
The Nigerian forward has attracted interest from across Europe, and his sale could provide the financial flexibility required to meet Liverpool’s asking price.
Should the deal go through, Nunez would join a side currently holding the Serie A title, with ambitions of competing deep into European competitions next season.
For Liverpool, it would mark the end of Nunez’s Anfield spell as they reshape their squad ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
