Arne Slot reveals a private conversation while making a forceful Darwin Nunez statement for Liverpool.

Arne Slot, the new head coach of Liverpool, has already had a conversation with Darwin Nunez, a striker from Uruguay who is now in the United States for the Copa America.

Darwin Nunez, the Uruguayan’s return to preseason training, has already been discussed, according to new Liverpool head coach Arne Slot.

The 25-year-old striker is now in the United States for the Copa America. The striker, if all the add-ons agreed upon with Benfica materialise, could become Liverpool’s record signing. However, two years after his arrival, the Reds have no plans to cash in on him. Barcelona had been speculatively connected with a transfer bid for the forward. Nunez scored eighteen goals in the previous season, but he was always in terrific positions and could have easily scored thirty with a little more finishing touch.

“I just told him that, from what I saw, he played multiple positions and what positions — or position — I see him playing,” Slot said, describing their conversation. Because I like him, I figure he’ll fit right in with this playing style. He’s one of the players I’ve spoken to, and I’ve already told him that.”

“He might have had some struggles with finishing opportunities,” Slot said. “However, he frequently filled those roles. He seems like he would fit right in, however at a team like this, there are usually a lot more players that can play in his position. He knows exactly which position he will play. It’s obvious to me as well, and he understood it once I told him.”

Slot wasn’t hesitant to express his goals for his rookie season at Liverpool. “Our aim should be that we want to win and be on top of the league,” he stated. “We hope to attend 38 games. But it takes a lot of everyday effort to come in here and improve and improve and improve in order to reach to that place. That is what needs to be done.”

According to Liverpool.com, Slot’s top priority this summer is probably making the most of Nunez. Liverpool may have a striker capable of scoring thirty goals or more if he can find a way to help him convert opportunities more frequently. That would greatly increase the Reds’ chances of winning the championship and fulfilling his goals.
