Mirror: The Red Army asked Nunez for 70 million pounds, Napoli hoped that the other party would lower the price with a wait-and-see attitude

The Mirror reported the latest news about Liverpool striker Nunes' transfer. Although the Uruguay international has informed Napoli that he will leave Liverpool, the Serie A champion intends to take a wait-and-see attitude and hopes to force the Reds to reduce the asking price of £70 million.

In his first season in Slot's coaching the Reds, Nunez only started eight times in the Premier League. Although he finally won the Premier League championship with the team, Nunes believes that he has no future in Anfield. Both clubs hope to reach the deal, but the Serie A champion believes that the transfer price is fair to both sides is about £50 million, and now Naples is ready to observe the situation in the transfer market this summer.

And Slot hopes to buy a striker for the team who can maintain stable goal efficiency. Newcastle's Isaac and Frankfurt striker Ekitic both are favored by Liverpool's coaches, but both players are expensive. Liverpool have spent £185 million to sign Wilz, Kolkz and Flynnon so far, so they hope to get as much money as possible by selling players.

Naples hopes that Osmaine will accept a transfer to Saudi Arabia, which is worth £67 million to enhance Naples' financial strength. In this way, the Serie A champion will have more room to get closer to the price of Liverpool against Nunes. In the last two months of the 24-25 season, Nunez did not make the starting list of Slot. If he starts again after his March 8 match against Southampton, Liverpool will also pay an additional fee to Benfica.

When Nunes transferred from Benfica to Liverpool in the summer of 2022, the initial transfer fee was £64 million. With additional terms, the total cost may reach £85 million. This would have made him the most expensive player to introduce in Liverpool's history, but Wilz joined Liverpool from Leverkusen with an initial transfer fee of £100 million, and the total fee could be as high as £116 million, setting a new record for transfer fees in English football.

24-25 season Nunez played 47 games in various competitions for the Reds and scored only 7 goals.
