Jurgen Klopp would expect Darwin Nunez to shine for Liverpool next season after an uneven first year in the Premier League at Anfield.

According to Athletic, the German manager has high expectations for the 24-year-old striker, who scored 15 goals in his first season on Merseyside after Nunez completed a blockbuster transfer from Benfica to Liverpool that could cost up to £85m.

With Roberto Firmino leaving Liverpool, Nunez is expected to be given more minutes as Klopp looks to split playing time between his five-star strikers. And the Uruguayan international could make a name for himself in the new season.

In UEFA Europa League football, Nunez could become a Liverpool regular, making Klopp’s new task of juggling the team’s fitness while challenging for the Premier League title a challenge the former Benfica star could happily accept.

With Nunez now more accustomed to the Premier League and playing for Liverpool, fans expect him to improve on his goalscoring tally from last season, a feat the 24-year-old could easily match if he gives his brand new season. .

Klopp is right to demand more of Nunez in his second season at Liverpool

Nunez arrived at Liverpool this summer with one of Europe’s biggest shouts and while 15 goals isn’t a bad tally for a striker making his Premier League debut, many fans and critics were expecting more. . And Klopp has every right to demand more from the striker next season.

In fact, Nunez has grown in confidence with every game in England and for Liverpool.

And with the Reds entering a whole new world with the Europa League next year, the South American talisman could become the attacking leader of the Anfield side if all goes well for the former Benfica star.

Brazilian teammate is perplexed as Mohamed Salah signs with a Saudi club.

One Brazilian team member believed they were getting the real deal.

After learning that his club had signed Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool winger’s namesake and not the real deal, an Al-Adalah player revealed that he experienced a flurry of emotions.

The Saudi Pro League in 2023 has drawn a large number of football players who are in their later years. Soon after the World Cup ended, Cristiano Ronaldo signed a contract with Al-Nassr. This summer, other players from Europe have also moved to the Middle East, including Karim Benzema of Real Madrid, the trio of N’Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy, and Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea, and Ruben Neves of Wolves.

Salah’s name would therefore be strongly associated with a multi-million pound move to Saudi Arabia right now if he hadn’t signed a three-year contract extension at Anfield last summer.

When he heard about his team’s most recent acquisition, Edson, a Brazilian defensive midfielder who plays for Al-Adalah, mistakenly thought the Egyptian King had been acquired by his team. In his native country, he described how at first he even rejoiced at the news in an interview with ESPN.

Regarding Salah, I thought it belonged to Liverpool, he said. I was hoping that would be the end of it, but it wasn’t. If Salah went there, it wouldn’t be out of this world because Arab football is expanding rapidly every year. “.

The player in question was a left back from Saudi Arabia.

In England, criticism of the Pro League’s expanding financial clout has been met with demands for a transfer embargo from Gary Neville and questions from former Reds striker Peter Crouch regarding the transfer of Neves in particular.

Although he did so with a positive attitude, Edson also discussed the league’s expanding financial power during his interview.

“There is a lot of investment being made in Arab football, and the goal is to build a stronger league every year. I’m excited to take part in the magic that is happening in that game of football right now.

‘They have always made investments. Saudi Federation, league, and presidents. However, investment power has been rising every year, and it has now increased even more. This is advantageous for the nation, which loves football a lot.

There is still much room for growth in this nation. All other players will naturally want to go if the top players go there. The other wants to go if the first one does. In this crucial situation, I’m honored to represent the club.

“They have a plan for 2030, and their goal is to transform Saudi Arabia as they did Dubai. They are making significant investments in the design of cities to entice tourists. I have no doubt that the Saudi Championship will rank among the top six or seven worldwide. Because it expands significantly each year, I have no doubts about that. “.
