One of many predominant suitors for Darwin Nunez may find yourself pissed off of their pursuit of the Liverpool striker this summer season.
The Uruguayan has been strongly linked with an exit from Anfield, with the Reds placing the 26-year-old up on the market within the present switch window, as we reported for Empire of the Kop earlier this month.
Napoli have been reported to have made a gap provide of €40m (£34.2m) for the Uruguayan final week, however the Premier League champions will demand a considerably larger payment in the event that they’re to promote their quantity 9.
How a lot are Liverpool set to demand for Nunez?
In an replace on his eponymous YouTube channelFabrizio Romano claimed that the Serie A title holders nonetheless intned to pursue Nunez however may finally be priced out of a transfer for him, which’d see them as a substitute flip in the direction of a Plan B.
The Italian switch guru said: “Napoli in the mean time nonetheless need Darwin Nunez, however really feel that the switch payment is simply too excessive. Liverpool need greater than €65m (£55.6m), in all probability in extra of €70m (£59.9m) for Darwin Nunez. In the meanwhile, Napoli imagine that the numbers of this deal are extreme, too costly.
“That is why in the mean time there may be nonetheless no inexperienced gentle. Napoli are nonetheless engaged on the deal, so let’s see what’s going to occur there with Nunez, as a result of for certain, Napoli stay in conversations.

Liverpool proper to demand what they really feel is Nunez’s true worth
Even when the Uruguayan have been to push for an exit amid Liverpool’s well-documented hyperlinks with a number of different strikers this summer season, FSG are fairly proper to be forceful on their asking worth for the 26-year-old, reasonably than being duped into promoting him for much under what they imagine to be his true worth.
It appears inevitable that the Reds will incur a loss on Nunez at any time when they do money in on him, but when they might reap upwards of £60m from his sale, that’d nonetheless see them recoup nearly all of their preliminary £64m outlay from three years in the past.
That’d characterize sound enterprise from the Merseysiders, notably with the striker’s popularity being hampered by him dropping his place in Arne Slot’s most popular beginning XI and the barrage of criticism he’s confronted all through his time in England.
Nonetheless, a tally of 40 objectives in three seasons at Liverpool isn’t terrible, and he’s at an age the place the membership are proper to demand a sizeable buck for him. Even when he isn’t probably the most cold-blooded of finishers, his penchant for a clutch objective would make him an amazing asset to any crew.
The Reds presently maintain the stability of energy on this occasion and have each proper to demand what they imagine Nunez to be price. If Napoli can’t come close to that valuation, they’ll merely need to focus their efforts on making an attempt to land Lucca from Udinese as a substitute.
