Darwin Nunez, once seen as Liverpool’s main goal scorer, has been under scrutiny for his performance on the pitch. Now he has made headlines by deleting almost all traces of his association with Liverpool from his public Instagram account.
Nunez has an impressive record of 18 goals and 13 assists in 53 appearances for the Reds. Still, the 24-year-old has faced criticism for his inconsistency in front of goal and questionable decision-making on the field.
The frustration of fans has perhaps reached boiling point with his barren spell in recent weeks. Particularly, after his miss of a golden opportunity during the Merseyside derby defeat to Everton Nunez has lost support from the fans.
According to reports, Nunez has faced a lot of abusive messages from certain Liverpool supporters, with some crossing the line by targeting his family and personal life.
Nunez Leaving Liverpool?
Jurgen Klopp will leave the club after this ongoing season. As of now, Arne Slot is the frontrunner as the next Liverpool manager. In the middle of these transitions Nunez’s future is under question.
Nunez has contract with Liverpool until 2028. However, he is being linked with a move away from Anfield. These rumours are gaining momentum by his social media activity.
Barcelona, in particular, have emerged as a possible destination. Spanish reports are indicating that the Catalan giants are eyeing Nunez as a long-term successor to the ageing Robert Lewandowski.
The prospect of a move to Barcelona is not entirely new for Nunez, as former Liverpool star Luis Suarez had previously recommended him to the club.
“When he was at Almeria, I said it at Barca.”
Suárez said on a Twitch stream with Gerard Romero (via SportBible):
“They asked me and I said ‘look after this guy, he’s very interesting’, but they said no, he’s at Almeria, he’s very young.
But instead of paying now 80, 90, or 100 million, they would have paid 15 or 20.”
Regardless of his performance on the pitch, Nunez deserves respect as a human being, with his personal life and well-being deserving of protection.
