There can be few complaints over the manner and quality of business Liverpool have conducted in the window so far.
The signings of Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz directly address the creative and positional deficit caused by Trent Alexander-Arnold’s departure as a free agent.
Likewise, a further move to bring in Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth will bring in some much-needed quality at left-back amid Andy Robertson umming and ahing over his future.
Now it seems that Darwin Nunez could be another name heading out the door in the summer transfer window.
Is Darwin Nunez on the way out at Liverpool?
The ideal target is, without question, Newcastle United’s world-class striker Alexander Isak.
Liverpool very much like the Swede, however, the current expectation is that he’ll stay put in the North East for the foreseeable.
The Magpies, of course, aren’t facing the same PSR worries as was the case the prior summer, thanks in no small part to them having secured Champions League football for 2025/26. So, there’s no immediate reason obligating Newcastle to consider selling one of their most valuable assets.
In that case, and given that Nunez doesn’t seem to have a future at Liverpool, the Uruguayan could open up the door to an alternative.
On that note, Fabrizio Romano has reported on X (formerly Twitter) that our No.9 is Napoli’s ‘priority and dream target’, and talks are set to resume next week.

Liverpool could sign Victor Osimhen
It remains to be seen whether the club is open to a “Plan B”, should we fail to secure a timely solution on the Isak front.
Given we’re set to engage in further negotiations with Napoli over the potential departure of Darwin Nunez, however, it would seem an opportune time to consider out-of-favour hitman Victor Osimhen.
According to Rudy Galetti, it’s a topic that’s at least been loosely discussed. That said, it’s not precisely clear whether both clubs are of a similar mind on how to resolve the futures of the stars in question.
One thing is clear: Liverpool will likely need an alternative to Alexander Isak. It seems Napoli are also open to the prospect of parting ways with their out-of-favour striker.
There’s an opportunity for all involved here.

Osinhem isn’t plan B. He was the main target all along.
If we are sincere about signing a striker, there’s no one better than Osimhen at the moment. It’s obvious that Isak is a good striker but even though he could be available, that price on him is a scam. Osimhen is the ultimate striker we should be going for.
No doubt about that but I think his bad attitude seems to be the problem here and not his ability
You truly don’t know shit about Osimhen. If he’s got a bad attitude like you claim, Galatasaray spell would have exposed that. The Galatasaray fans are crazy about this guy cos he’s down to earth off and on the pitch. He didn’t like the way the Napoli management treated him and the Mob President wants to deal with him with his weight.
Osimhen is a good guy and a great striker, I believe he will be great deal for us at LFC!
I don’t think that would be a good thing ,he is not even the main striker at his club that’s why Napoli send him out on loan and you Liverpool to sign him ,then I will rather keep Darwin and Jota .
Clearly you don’t know Osimhen.. He showed his quality for decate seasons also won serie A with it’s golden boot. Talk about Jota you clearly like plambers on that side coz Jota is suitable as a 3rd option. You put him as 1st option just forget about the goals from him especially playing with big clubs…Man city R Madrid.. Bro the time of patience is over between the him and Nunez
I like Darwin
Agree.100%.
FSG should get Osimhen by negotiating for a cut salary. He’s a proven No.9 with undoubted experience⚽
Liverpool must go for either Sesko or Eritike. Osimhen is obviously good but whenever I think of Afcon, my belly moves.
I need Sesko or Victor Gyokeres
No osimhen.No striker
Osimhen is our preferred no9…..
plan b should be Ekitike
ynwa
Osimhen is the Man for the job.
Oshimen is the best uption here morethan any other one’s if i may guess. Isak did nt worth that much. Let us go 4 oshimen if we are really serious about dominating football in england and europe at large
I think Osimhen is our best option, he has proven himself to be a world-class striker. FSG, please go for him – at least we can use Nunez, Chiesa plus a little cash to get him
Now that everything seems somewhat aligned between our universe and Napoli’s, it’s up to Osimhen to make the deal happen. I think it’s much better ending up in Lfc rather than stays where he is now.
