Liverpool’s Title Race Stumbles as January Shake-Up Looms: Star Striker Set for Exit?
In a game they were widely tipped to win, Liverpool stumbled against a faltering Manchester United side, settling for a 2-2 draw at Anfield. Despite goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah, the Merseyside club failed to secure the victory, with Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo rescuing a point for Ruben Amorim’s men. The result has left Liverpool ruing the loss of two crucial points in the title race.
As the January transfer window approaches, the Reds are reportedly ready to overhaul their squad to regain momentum and strengthen their position against rivals. While key players like Mohamed Salah, Virgil Van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are rumored to be facing uncertain futures, it’s another high-profile star who could be the first to depart.
Reports suggest that Liverpool are prepared to accept offers in the range of £50-60 million for struggling striker Darwin Nunez. The 25-year-old has endured a torrid season, scoring just two goals in 15 Premier League appearances under Dutch manager Arne Slot, who, like his predecessor Jurgen Klopp, has been unable to unlock the forward’s potential. Now in his third season at Anfield, Nunez still appears unsettled in the Premier League, with his form marred by inconsistency since his arrival.
To address their attacking woes, Liverpool are reportedly scouting replacements, with Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, Inter Milan’s Marcus Thuram, and Brighton’s Joao Pedro all emerging as potential targets. The club is also planning to reinvest proceeds from Nunez’s sale into bolstering their defense and midfield, eyeing a major squad revamp to reignite their title ambitions.
With speculation swirling and January nearing, Liverpool’s next moves could redefine their season – but is this the end of the road for Darwin Nunez at Anfield?
