Darwin Núñez has already confirmed a deal to Barcelona while Liverpool’s attitude is revealed.

Darwin Núñez, a forward for Liverpool, has previously responded “yes” to Barcelona after the Catalan club made an initial transfer attempt back in 2020.

Darwin Núñez, a forward for Liverpool, has already “said yes” to Barcelona once, and sources from Spain suggest he may get the chance to do so again. This week, transfer rumours have swirled around the Uruguayan after social media posts pertaining to Liverpool were removed.

Núñez, 24, entered the game in the 75th minute after Liverpool’s 4-2 victory against Tottenham Hotspur the previous weekend. The former Benfica player has now gone eight games without a goal after failing to contribute significantly in the match for Liverpool.

Núñez’s personal Instagram erased all but one picture of him wearing a Liverpool shirt shortly after the game, leading to rumours regarding his future with the team. The public suggestion only fueled the rumours that he was being linked to La Liga powerhouse Barcelona in recent weeks.

SPORT reports that Xavi Hernandez is showing interest in Núñez as the Barcelona manager prepares to replace Robert Lewandowski this summer. The 35-year-old, who makes among the most money at the team, is getting close to the end of his playing days.

According to the Catalan site, Núñez has already said “yes” to Barcelona in 2020 while he was still at UD Almería, indicating that this is not the first time the Catalan club has expressed interest in the player. The player was eventually signed by Benfica, and in 2022 he would go to Anfield for a reported $91 million (€85 million/£73 million).

After his tie at Almería, Núñez was supposedly ‘delighted’ with the thought of donning the Barcelona shirt and would now ‘prioritise’ a trip back to Spain. But, Barcelona’s manager at the time of the initial interest, former Everton manager Ronaldo Koeman, was not persuaded to sign the attacker. Benfica was subsequently able to enter as a result, and the rest is history.

He may now, however, be given another chance, and if he decides to leave Liverpool, reports suggest he would prefer to move to Barcelona. Núñez is already aware of the Nou Camp club, even though he is still far from moving there after coming dangerously close to doing so once.

Liverpool.com states: Núñez has shown glimpses of his potential while wearing a Liverpool shirt, despite his recent setbacks. He is an investment, much as the club extensively spent in him. Not every player will have the same immediate impact as Erling Haaland.
