“I Do Know That”: Liverpool Would Now Be Happy to Sell £140k-a-week Star After Landing Federico Chiesa Deal – Insider
Liverpool have taken their time in the transfer window this summer, securing their first signing later than expected. Despite the delay, they have finally made their move.
Arne Slot, who has only been in his role for about three months, likely found his patience tested as the club struggled to make a breakthrough in the market.
Nevertheless, the Reds have completed their first signing, with Giorgi Mamardashvili officially announced as a Liverpool player on Tuesday.
However, the Georgia international will not be joining the squad immediately; instead, he will return to Valencia on loan for the rest of the 2024/25 season.
Liverpool’s search for reinforcements continues, particularly after their unsuccessful attempt to sign Martin Zubimendi, as they aim to strengthen their squad before Friday’s transfer deadline.
In addition, Liverpool have reached an agreement with Juventus to sign Federico Chiesa, a move that might lead to the departure of one of their current forwards.
Liverpool Could Now Sell £140k-a-week Star After Landing Federico Chiesa Deal
A flurry of activity during the closing stages of the summer transfer window has been essential at Anfield to compensate for the limited business conducted earlier.
Liverpool have secured an agreement with Chiesa, with both clubs settling on a transfer fee. This brings an exciting new attacking talent to Merseyside.
However, this addition could lead to one player becoming expendable, as Liverpool appear willing to entertain offers for a potential sale.
Reports from Arsenal insider Team News and Tickets suggest that Liverpool might be open to selling Darwin Nunez in the final days of the transfer window, amid speculation linking him to the north London club.
“Liverpool would be happy for him to go, not to us [Arsenal]. They were hoping Atletico Madrid would go for him when they went for Julian Alvarez. I’m 99% sure there’s no interest from Arsenal,” he said speaking on Charles Watts’ YouTube channel.
“I do know that Liverpool would be happy to lose him, I’m not sure at what price.”
Darwin Nunez has struggled to make an impact at Liverpool this season, especially after joining the squad later than most due to his Copa America commitments.
With a new manager now at the helm, the 25-year-old forward appears to be facing challenges in winning over the confidence of Slot.
Last season, Nunez earned a reported £140k-per-week, delivering a solid performance with 18 goals and 13 assists across all competitions.
However, this season, Nunez has only seen 18 minutes of playtime across the first two games, and he didn’t even make it off the bench in the match against Ipswich Town.
Even Jamie Carragher has expressed concerns about Nunez’s future under Slot, with early indications not looking particularly promising.
