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.

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 do well because he gives everything, he causes trouble, he gets the odd goal.
“But after two years, when Liverpool are going for the title or in big games, you need your man to score at Old Trafford or at Goodison Park. This is the business end. He’s ground to a halt.
“After two years there’s going to be no improvement in him. This is what he is. He can cause trouble but he’s erratic with his finishing – it’s not enough to win you trophies so there’s a big decision to be made on 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.

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.
