Darwin Nunez showed last season that he is recovering, but overall does not meet the expectations of a Liverpool striker with 40 goals in 143 games. This is clear when Liverpool are now reported deep in a process that will end with the Premier League’s second highest scoring player wearing the red Liverpool shirt. A Nunez sale is supposed to clear the way for this, but now there are reports from Italy that the biggest Nunez suitor has withdrawn.
Napoli, with Antonio Conte at the helm, have been heavily linked with Nunez over the past month. Earlier this month, transfer journalist Ginaluca Di Marzio reported that Napoli fired off a bid of €50 million plus €5 million in bonuses for Darwin Nunez. Since then, it has been quiet. until now.
According to Italian Sky Sports, Napoli are withdrawing from the hunt for Nunez signing. The reigning Serie A champions have headed in for Lorenzo Lucca from Udinese, a 2-metre tall striker with 10 Serie A goals last season, as the club’s top scorer.
