These fucking names , somehow it’s almost feels like it’s Chelsea.
Leao isn’t someone whos reliable. Talented , for sure. But someone who can be a coach’s nightmare.
Darwin for all his faults is someone who’s much more consistent , even if not in terms of goals.
Milan have agreed a deal to sign Ardon Jashari for €39m so that’s probably them spent up for the window and less likely to stump up the fee for Nunez
Fabrizio Romano latest update:
EXCLUSIVE: Al Hilal are close to getting Darwin Nunez deal done after verbal agreement in place with Liverpool.
Club to club agreement is done, while Al Hilal are in talks with Darwin over personal terms.
Decision up to Nunez but talks underway, Inzaghi wants him.
I can’t imagine him going there, but maybe he needs to be out of the spotlight for a while? It seems like a massive step down for him.
He can go wherever. As long as he goes.
I like him..but there’s no future for him here.
Well, that is clear. But I still want to see players flourish after leaving us.
I hope he does well.
But for every Suarez , there is a Keita
I’m not sure there is anywhere else for Darwin without us dropping the price we are looking for. Italian clubs aren’t going to come close and there hasn’t been much interest from anywhere else.
Still this could work for Darwin if he wants to get back into a European League again. He is young enough that a year or two of doing well in Saudi and some more options might open up.
We’ve seen much better players than Nunez going to Saudi and also at good age.
Obviously players are willing to go there sooner or maybe for a period in their career before going back to Europe.
I saw no sense in a Newcastle going for him, felt he would always do a drop after Liverpool, with the stuff he has or hasn’t showed here.
Osimhen went to Turkey at 26, Nunez in Saudi isn’t that surprising.
Wish him well, that’s not even in question, but all the exaggerated excuses for him have to stop at a certain point.
He’s not that good.
I’m going to miss the lad. He always offered raw energy and never gave up. Sadly while his goal scoring was down his head held high.
.
Maybe we should loan him to an under 12 team so he can learn about offsides.
.
He was frustrating but he gave everything.
I wonder what are those significant add-ons that Dominic King is mentioning. 46 million pounds is quite a decent fee but it’s also a massive loss on what Liverpool paid Benfica, about 30 million pounds if I’m not mistaken.
Profit on his book value though
I know it’s a big thing for people who are well versed on the matter but for me, it’s just “incoming transfer fee minus outgoing transfer fee”. Wish it could have been much better for him at Liverpool but at least he’ll leave a PL winner.
I take it you don’t regularly play ‘4D Chess’ then?
In a way, sad that he is leaving because I think he has been respectful of the club and the fans and tried his best. But its on the cards throughout the last season that he is just not working out here and that Slot does not seem to fancy him. Wish him the best, I hope he gets back to some sort of form and get himself a move back to one of the top European leagues again.
Pity he’s moving to that league. Anyways, good luck to him and hope he get’s back to his Benfica form.
