Darwin Nunez’s departure from Liverpool in the summer is looking more and more inevitable.
The No.9 has struggled to find his place under Arne Slot, and recent criticism of his work rate hasn’t helped his situation. According to Fabrizio Romano, Nunez’s exit at the end of the season is now a *”concrete possibility.”*
With his future uncertain, Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, will need to find a suitable replacement—and Alexander Isak has emerged as a potential candidate.
The Newcastle striker has attracted interest from multiple clubs, including Arsenal and Liverpool. While Isak is under contract at St James’ Park until 2028, his rising status and Newcastle’s complex contract situation could make a transfer possible.
Statistically, the 25-year-old ranks among the best strikers in Europe, excelling in expected goals (xG), progressive carries, and successful take-ons.
If Liverpool decide to compete with Arsenal for his signature, they’ll hope to gain the upper hand in the race.
