Liverpool ‘leading race’ to sign star striker to replace Darwin Nunez as release clause revealed

Liverpool are reportedly leading the race to sign a striker who could potentially replace Darwin Nunez.

The Reds have had a strong start to the 2024/2025 season under new manager Arne Slot, currently topping both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

However, their lead at the top of the Premier League was reduced to seven points after a thrilling 3-3 draw against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park. ..Continue Reading

It seemed like Mohamed Salah had secured the win for Liverpool with his 83rd-minute goal, making it 3-2, but Fabian Schar equalized in the 90th minute, leaving the teams level.

During the match, Nunez faced heavy criticism for missing several key opportunities.

As a result, it’s now rumored that Liverpool is eyeing a new striker.

According to reports from Italian media, Liverpool is leading the race to sign the Inter Milan striker, who has been attracting interest from several clubs across Europe after scoring nine goals in 13 Serie A matches.

It’s believed that Inter would be willing to let the player go if his release clause, set at £70 million, is met.

However, Liverpool typically does not spend such a large amount on players aged 27 or over, so it remains to be seen whether this transfer will materialize.

Speaking after France’s recent victory over Italy at San Siro, the striker expressed his admiration for the iconic stadium.

He said: “I love this stadium, I love San Siro. The game against Italy was strange for me. I played against my brothers, which was very strange, but I love all of them, and I was happy to cross paths with them.”

Liverpool will be back in Premier League action this weekend when they face Everton at Goodison Park.
