Contract revelation is a sign Darwin Nunez could now STAY
Liverpool may keep Darwin Nunez after all. The Uruguayan's contract revelation changes things.
Liverpool went into this summer wanting to sell Darwin Nunez. Though, only for the right price.
But it's become clear that Nunez isn't the answer up top at Anfield. At least, he's not the answer under Arne Slot, who rarely used the forward last season.
Nunez suited things a lot more under Jurgen Klopp but the Dutchman preferred other options. With the lack of playing time, particularly over the second half of the campaign, a sale made sense.
And Napoli appeared to be the destination. Reports claim Nunez rejected a move to Saudi Arabia this summer, with Antonio Conte's side the favourites to snap him up.
There have been problems with the fee, naturally, but it looked like the place he wanted to be. Only, that may not be the case.

Darwin Nunez's future
Corriere Dello Sport claims Nunez actually hasn't agreed on terms with Napoli. It's been reported in several Italian outlets that he had done, with just agreement with Liverpool standing in the way of the deal.
It seems that's not the case, however. Nunez hasn't agreed on terms and the report suggests it's proving a little difficult.
This comes after rejecting Saudi Arabia and Al-Hilal, too. So does Nunez actually want to leave?
Because that's the thing no one has really talked about this summer. Liverpool may want to move on from Nunez but that doesn't mean he wants to move on from the Reds.
There's an argument that it's for the best, too. Liverpool are struggling to find a striker they actually want in this transfer window as prices are sky high with little to show for it.

Nunez may well be the best option for Liverpool, even if it's just for one more year. Everything suddenly points to him staying at Anfield unless something major changes.
Rest in peace, Diogo Jota.
