Liverpool is now keen to sign the “fatal” £50m striker, who has scored the same number of goals this season as Alexander Isak has scored, a report said.
Liverpool watch Nunez's alternative
Arne Slot has had an extraordinary first season at Anfield, winning the Premier League title with a team he effectively built with Jurgen Klopp, but the manager hopes to bring some new faces this summer, but some of his current choices don't believe.
One such player is Darwin Nunez, who has reported that the Dutch manager does not trust the striker, and this summer, the Uruguayan open-ended Uruguayan, the manager is likely to be a replacement task.
Recently, there have been positive updates on the Reds' pursuit of Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo, suggesting that they may accept bids from the 25-year-old if they decide to take a specific approach.

Kerks upgraded: Liverpool can sign £21m star, he is Trent on the left foot
Liverpool hopes to sign left-back in the transfer market this summer.
The French-born striker proved himself at the Premier League level, which might be an attractive option for slot machines, but he isn't the only target they thought of, and Newcastle United's Isak is also on the shortlist.
However, a deal for ISAK may be difficult to achieve, meaning Liverpool can take alternative actions, and Anfield Watch’s report now reveals that they are now keen to sign the Atalanta Striker Mateo Retegui.
Retegui has been added to the shortlist and was impressed before the season’s goal, the report added that Nunez is now expected to leave this summer, which has intensified demand for new strikers.
Isak and Hugo Ekitike are also interested in the Reds, but they have the option to hone the Atalanta Forward, and previous reports show he can get it for a relatively high price of £50 million.
“Deadly” retegui keeps up with Isaac this season
Isak has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season, winning 27 goals for Newcastle in all competitions, but Atalanta Star has been a lot of wealthy, finding 27 nets in 45 outings.
Italian manager Luciano Spalletti was impressed by the 26-year-old's performance, saying: “In the box, he's deadly. Now he's learned how to connect better with the team. He's going to be a top player.”
Nunez, on the other hand, never really managed to win his name at Anfield, scoring only five Premier League goals this season, so there is no doubt that Slot is looking to upgrade this summer.
There are all signs that Retegui could be a fantastic signing for Liverpool so they are participating in his signature, which is exciting news, but there may be competition from Manchester United, and they have already held talks.
