Liverpool have reportedly received a fresh bid for their star striker Darwin Nunez amid increasing interest from European and Saudi clubs. The Uruguayan international, who joined Liverpool from Benfica in June 2022 for a club-record fee of £85 million, has been pivotal to Jurgen Klopp’s attacking setup.
However, questions remain over his long-term role at Anfield as the club balances rebuilding efforts and financial considerations. Also his current form, amid this season raises the bar.

A new bid for Darwin Nunez
According to sources, the latest offer is believed to be in the region above the previous bid which was of £70 million, a figure that could potentially tempt Liverpool to negotiate.
While the identity of the bidding club remains undisclosed speculation suggests interest from Saudi Arabia’s Pro League, which has been aggressively recruiting top European talent.
Additionally, several Champions League-contending clubs in Europe are reportedly monitoring Nunez’s situation.
Nunez has had a mixed spell at Liverpool. While his goal-scoring record stands impressive in his appearances across all competitions, his erratic finishing and adaptability to Klopp’s high-intensity system have drawn criticism.
Nonetheless, his work rate, speed, and physical presence make him a valuable asset, particularly in high-pressure situations.
Liverpool’s decision will depend on multiple factors. Selling Nunez could free up funds to strengthen other areas, particularly the midfield and defense.
However, parting with a young forward of Nunez calibre could disrupt the attacking chemistry Klopp has been nurturing with Mohamed Salah, Luis Díaz, and Cody Gakpo.
Meanwhile, another fresh update from Anfield Watch tells that the new bid has been already rejected by the Reds as they still value Nunez around £85 million.

Slot’s role in Nunez’s future
The decision awaits considering Arne Slot’s role in this situation. Under his regime, Nunez has struggled to start matches.
Cashing out on such a prospect can help Liverpool arrange more funds which further can be used to strengthen the squad options.
The Uruguayan star will demand more match-time ahead of clubs’ upcoming matches this season. Also, there are certain links that the star is being offered by AC Milan.
The January transfer window will likely be pivotal, with Liverpool weighing their options carefully.
Fans will await updates as the club decides whether to cash in or keep faith in a player who has the potential to become a long-term star at Anfield.
