Liverpool is expected to definitely dispose of Darwin Núñez. It is highly likely that Núñez has already been excluded from manager Arne Slot's plan for next season. Currently, Liverpool are preparing to sign a promising Eintracht Frankfurt striker as a replacement for Núñez. They are choosing realistic candidates in case they fail to recruit Alexander Isaac.
British Cutoffside reported on the 5th (Korea time) 'Liverpool entered negotiations with a striker who scored 19 goals as a substitute for Darwin Núñez.
Liverpool is forming a team under the premise that there is no Núñez in preparation for next season. Uruguayan striker Núñez has been struggling with Liverpool this season as well. Liverpool are currently looking to win, but Núñez cannot rejoice.
Manager Arne Slot has largely relied on Mohamed Salah's outstanding performances this season. Salah's offense exploded to the point where he is likely to be the top scorer in the English Premier League (EPL).
On the other hand, Núñez received many opportunities in Liverpool, but has not performed properly. It's more shabby compared to Salah.
For this reason, Liverpool is seeking to recruit a perfect striker next season. Recruitment of a central striker with a goal-scoring ability comparable to Salah is the top challenge.
Núñez is more likely to move to the Saudi Arabian professional league than to move to a European club. Nuñez herself is known to be open to moving to the Middle East.

Liverpool's target to replace Núñez is Hugo Ekittike, Eintracht Frankfurt striker.
There is also news that the club has already entered negotiations for recruitment. Ekitike, a 22-year-old member of France's national youth team, has emerged as one of the most high-profile attacking prospects in Europe. Several big clubs are interested in recruiting Ekittike this summer.
Ekitike has 19 goals and eight assists in 39 official games this season. Despite his young age, he shows a high level of goal-making ability.
Liverpool is aiming to recruit Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak as its top priority, but it is unlikely to be easy to recruit due to excessive recruitment costs.
For this reason, there are opinions that Liverpool will focus on reasonable options, such as turning its recruitment to Ekittike.
Some argued that Liverpool and Ekittike are already negotiating.
Liverpool is in a position to compete with English Premier League clubs to recruit Ekiti. Currently, Arsenal and Manchester United are deeply interested in Ekittike.
These are the three clubs that have received attention this season for different reasons. Although the clubs have a long history, Liverpool, which has the highest chance of winning the EPL in the 2024-2025 season, is likely to have priority in negotiations.
Ekitike is under contract with Frankfurt until 2029. As he is young and has considerable potential, he is likely to demand a huge transfer fee from Frankfurt.
