Atletico Madrid eyeing €35-€40m move for Darwin Nunez - reports
Atletico Madrid are reportedly considering a bid for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, who has struggled to find consistency in front of goal this season.
The Uruguayan forward has been linked with a move away from Anfield, with Saudi Arabian clubs also showing interest.
Nunez's lack of efficiency in front of goal has caused frustration for Liverpool fans and manager Arne Slot.
Since Slot's arrival at the club last summer, Nunez has started just over a quarter of Liverpool's Premier League matches and has only managed six goals and five assists in 35 appearances.
The 24-year-old's goal contribution rate of one every 155 minutes has raised concerns about his ability to lead the line for Liverpool.
Slot publicly criticized Nunez's lack of effort on two occasions, following high-profile missed chances in key Premier League matches.
Atletico Madrid are said to be weighing up a bid of €35-€40m for Nunez, who is set to play a backup role for Liverpool in the remainder of the season.
