Juventus are reportedly considering a summer swoop for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, as the Serie A giants prepare for potential changes in their attacking lineup.
Nunez Emerges as Juventus Plan B
According to Tuttosport, the 25-year-old Uruguayan international is on Juventus’ radar as they explore striker options amid growing uncertainty over Dusan Vlahovic’s future. While the Bianconeri would prefer to re-sign Randal Kolo Muani from PSG, intense competition from Premier League clubs may push them to explore alternatives — with Nunez now considered their “Plan N”.
Juventus are aware that securing Nunez won’t come cheap. Liverpool are reportedly seeking a fee in the region of €60–65 million for the former Benfica star, though they could be open to a loan deal with an option or obligation to buy.
Liverpool Frustrations, But Market Value Holds
Nunez joined Liverpool in July 2022 for a hefty fee and has endured a mixed spell at Anfield. Despite flashes of brilliance, consistency has been an issue. During the 2024/25 season, he clocked 2,038 minutes across 47 appearances in all competitions, returning just 7 goals and 7 assists — underwhelming numbers for a player of his profile.
Still, the striker’s physicality, movement, and raw potential keep him in high demand across Europe. Juventus believe a change of scenery could help unlock his full capabilities.
What’s Next for Nunez?
With Vlahovic likely to be sold and Kolo Muani’s situation uncertain, Juventus are weighing their options carefully. Nunez represents a high-risk, high-reward proposition, and any potential deal will depend on Liverpool’s willingness to negotiate terms beyond a straight sale.
As the transfer window unfolds, all eyes will be on whether Juventus make their move — and if Nunez is ready to swap Merseyside for Turin.
