Owen’s Crystal Ball and Nunez’s Exit …
Darwin Nunez’s Anfield adventure seems to be reaching its potholed end, with ex-Liverpool legend Michael Owen imagining a future without the Uruguayan star in the Reds’ line-up next season. Nunez arrived in Liverpool in 2022 with a glittering price tag and fans dreamily expecting goal galore, but alas, only 40 goals in 136 games later and he’s become a benchwarmer faster than a Brit at tea time!
Linked with an intriguing club tango from Saudi Arabia back in January, Nunez found himself stuck in Liverpool thanks to Arne Slot’s hopes of a trophy spree that, let’s face it, may as well have been fueled by unicorn wishes. With interest from near and far, the summer rumor mill is already spinning like grandma knitting at double speed, putting Nunez on the auction block for anyone feeling a striker itch.
Slot’s patience has been thinner than British sunshine, publicly critiquing Nunez for occasionally looking like he’s running through treacle instead of battling for the ball. Whispers of replacements like Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and Atletico’s Julian Alvarez are hanging around like eager interns. Meanwhile, a wild rumor of Harry Kane swapping Spurs for Liverpool momentarily shook the interwebs. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, Anfield’s romance with Nunez seems set to end with more “Oh” than “Awe”!
