Darwin Nunez, a Liverpool striker, is apparently “dreaming” of a summer transfer to Barcelona.
Nunez, 24, joined the Reds for a club record £85 million from Benfica in 2022 but has struggled to satisfy expectations.
Darwin Nunez is apparently excited to join Barcelona.
The striker has 11 Premier League goals this season, placing him 16th in the Golden Boot race.
As a result, some supporters have criticized him harshly, with club icon Jamie Carragher even doubting his place in the team.
Speaking on Sky Sports, the former defender said: “You want him to succeed because he gives everything, causes trouble, and scores the occasional goal.
“But after two years, when Liverpool is competing for the title or in important games, you need your player to score at Old Trafford or Goodison Park. This is the business end. He’s come to a stop.
“After two years, there will be no progress in him. This is who he is. He may cause problems, but his finishing is inconsistent – it’s not enough to win you trophies, so there’s a significant decision to be made about him.”
Nunez’s future at the club is currently in doubt, and he could leave.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Uruguay international is currently “looking for a way out” of Anfield.
And he is “dreaming” of moving to Barcelona before the 2024-25 season.

SunSport recently reported that the striker has emerged as a key target for Xavi’s team.
If Robert Lewandowski left this summer, the La Liga giants may attempt to sign him.
La Liga has reduced Barcelona’s salary ceiling to just over £174 million, forcing the club to unload its biggest earners, including Lewandowski, in order to continue a planned rebuild.
Nunez presently earns roughly a fourth of what the Poland international does, placing him inside Barca’s price range.
The Liverpool player fueled rumors about his future earlier this week when he appeared to erase all Reds-related photos from his Instagram.
