Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has stirred speculation about his future by deleting all pictures of himself playing for the club from Instagram. The 24-year-old Uruguayan joined Liverpool from Benfica two years ago in a record £85 million deal. Despite scoring 18 goals and providing 13 assists in 52 appearances this season, Nunez has faced criticism for his lack of clinical finishing, leading to interest from Barcelona.
Barcelona are reportedly eyeing Nunez as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski, with the Catalan club looking to offload high earners amid financial difficulties. Nunez, who earns significantly less than Lewandowski, could be open to a move, especially if Liverpool receive an offer that allows them to strengthen under new manager Arne Slot.
Nunez’s Instagram move, deleting all Liverpool-related photos except his profile picture, has fueled speculation about his future. However, no official explanation has been given for this action. Barcelona are reportedly willing to meet Nunez’s release clause, and Liverpool could be open to discussions, especially if they receive an offer for Mohamed Salah, whose contract expires next year.
