What that will look like remains to be seen. There are a lot of plates to spin for Richard Hughes. And probably the most significant one is that regarding the sale of Darwin Nunez.

The Uruguayan is probably the most certain player to leave the Reds this summer. His future is 100% elsewhere and it would be pretty much a miracle if he was still at the club by the time the new season started.

The question is where he will go and how much Liverpool will be able to offload him for. Selling him for as much money as possible could determine the rest of the window for the Reds.

And Romano has confirmed Liverpool are about to enter brand new talks.

According to Fabrizio Romano Liverpool have entered direct talks with Napoli over the future of Nunez on Tuesday. According to Romano the club's have entered talks to discuss the conditions of the Nunez deal.

What that means remains to be seen. It's clear that Napoli are a serious candidate for Nunez, but whether they can pay the sums that Liverpool will be looking to sell him for, remains to be seen.

There is the possibility that Liverpool could strike a deal, which may involve other players. That way they get more for Nunez, and it could see someone like Victor Osimhen being involved as part of the deal.

Undoubtedly those discussions could also be taking place. It would not be a surprise.

Anfield Watch revealed back in January that Liverpool have Osimhen high on the list of targets to replace Nunez. That has not changed. Although the Nigerian's wage demands remain a major obstacle.

However, if that's something that Osimhen can overlook in favour of a move to Anfield and playing in the Premier League, he would certainly be the perfect option for Liverpool.

Osimhen is pretty much an ideal modern day forward who will score goals for fun. He's still relatively young and very much in the prime of his career.

The prospect of him linking up with Wirtz and Mo Salah and getting on the end of crosses from Frimpong and Kerkez is mouthwatering.

So, Liverpool could come out on top of this Nunez deal, yet. It's not uncommon for the Reds to hold and do multiple talks with one club in one window.

They did that with Leverkusen already this summer with Jarell Quansah set to join them and back in 2023, they did the same with RB Leipzig when they signed Dominik Szoboszlai and loaned Fabio Carvalho to the German side.
