Liverpool have found it difficult to replicate the blistering form that carried them to the Premier League title last season. After a summer of significant squad turnover—with over £400 million spent on new arrivals—Arne Slot's side has struggled to find its rhythm.
The most high-profile departure was Luis Diaz, whose move to Bayern Munich saw the Colombian winger continue to shine after playing a key role in Liverpool's championship run. But other fringe players also moved on, including Darwin Nunez and Jarell Quansah, as the Reds reshuffled their deck.
Now, with Liverpool failing to hit the heights of their title-winning campaign, the club might be wise to revisit one of those summer sales. Darwin Nunez, a figure who divided opinion among the Anfield faithful, could be the answer.
Nunez never quite lived up to his hefty price tag during his time on Merseyside, often frustrating fans with inconsistency. Yet, he produced moments of brilliance that hinted at his immense potential. Since leaving for Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal last summer, things haven't exactly clicked for the Uruguayan either. He's managed just 1,667 minutes of playing time this season, struggling to secure a regular starting spot.
Despite limited minutes, Nunez has still contributed 14 goal involvements in 24 matches—a testament to his raw talent. According to Uruguayan outlet Referi, the 26-year-old has reportedly agreed to terminate his contract with Al Hilal this summer, potentially making him available on a free transfer.
Bringing Nunez back to Anfield would be a no-brainer. His versatility—capable of playing up front or on the left—would provide Slot with a valuable squad option. And after a year away, the striker might just be hungry to prove he belongs at a club like Liverpool. For the Reds, it's a low-risk, high-reward move that could reignite their attacking spark.
