'He said I'm waiting to sign' - Liverpool star tells club hero that he's leaving this summer
xx
Darwin Nunez has declared that he’s ‘waiting to sign’ for Napoli, it has been claimed.
The striker is expected to leave Liverpool this summer after three difficult seasons. Nunez made just eight Premier League starts on the way to the Premier League title in the 2024-25 season and scored only seven goals in all competitions.
Nunez has been linked with several clubs, with a move to Saudi Arabia mooted and Liverpool turned down a bid in January. But Napoli, who are the Serie A champions, are keen on the 25-year-old. And according to Nunez’s fellow Uruguayan and ex-Napoli favourite Walter Gargano, the centre-forward is poised to move to Italy.
Gargano said on RadioGoal: “I heard Darwin Nunez, he said 'yes, I'm coming to Naples. I'm waiting to sign. I talked to him on the phone, he will decide with his family as De Bruyne did. He told me he wants to come right away, he's waiting to sign with Napoli.”
