With a price of 50 million euros, is Nunez really leaving?

After serving as a substitute for many consecutive games in the last few games of the season, it is almost no surprise that Nunes and Liverpool will part ways this summer. According to Romano and many media reports, the new Serie A champion Naples intends to buy Nunes, and Liverpool is priced at 50 million euros. Are you really leaving? In the summer of 2022, Liverpool spent 85 million euros to bring Nunes from Benfica to Anfield, hoping that he can succeed Firmino to become the new striker of the Reds. Unfortunately, after three years of training, the deal to introduce Nunes failed to succeed. Especially under Slott's command, Nunes wasted many excellent opportunities in front of the goal and completely became a substitute.

In the just-passed 2024-25 season, Nunes played 47 games for Liverpool, contributing 7 goals and 7 assists, which is a huge difference from his previous season's data of 18 goals and 15 assists. At the beginning of the season, Slot defined Jota as the main center, but after Jota was injured, Nunes failed to seize the opportunity to prove himself, and Slot was forced to arrange for Dias to play a cameo as a center.

Liverpool won the Premier League championship 4 rounds ahead of schedule, and Nunes also contributed. The most typical game was that Liverpool beat Brentford 2-0 away in the 22nd round of the Premier League. In this game, Nunes came on as a substitute in the second half and scored two goals in three minutes in stoppage time, helping Liverpool win a key three-pointer on the road to the championship. This is also a rare highlight moment in Nunez this season.

However, the Premier League champion did not help Nunes, his German turnaround price dropped from 70 million euros a year ago to 45 million euros now, and the decline was so fast that it was Waterloo. However, as a 25-year-old striker, Nunez has no problem with his personal strength. What he needs is to restore confidence and regain the sense of goal scored in front of the goal. Leaving Liverpool is not necessarily a failure.

As the new Serie A champion, Naples signed a contract with De Bruyne this summer, and Nunes will be able to get more opportunities to eat cake after joining. Naples also has the ability to pay for the €50 million asking price, which may be a win-win deal between Liverpool, Naples and Nunes.
