The latest information suggests that Nunez has agreed to the move, despite previously indicating a preference to stay in Europe. The Uruguayan is valued at around €50 million and is also a target for Milan and Juventus.
Liverpool have already signed striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt and are in negotiations for Alexander Isak from Newcastle. It is expected that Nunez’ potential departure would help fund the deal for the Swedish international, who is set to break the club’s transfer record for a second time this summer.
Liverpool signed Nunez in 2022 from Benfica for €85 million. He has scored 40 goals for the Reds and won the English Premier League title last season.
