Even after they crowned the Premier League champions on Sunday, Liverpool looks destined to lose a certain star this summer as his agents reportedly are already on the exit.
Slot credit crop after Liverpool’s title wins
Even the most optimistic Liverpool fans could not predict Arne Slot’s debut title. The Dutch had an act that was impossible to follow with the great Jurgen Klopp, but before completing the task they acquired the waltz without welcoming important arrivals. Like Klopp, slots have now become part of Anfield’s historical moment.
For the first time this season, Slots are no longer concentrated tacticians at Anfield’s stern when their final whistle rang Sunday. Instead, like his Liverpool team, he was seen wearing a Champions shirt and swaying like he never walked alone in front of the KOP.
The Liverpool boss took the time to express his joy at becoming a Premier League champion, handing Klopp the credits and telling reporters. “I’m 99.9% and I’m sure if I pick up my phone, I’ll get a message from Jurgen.

Premier League champions can dive…
“We both got in touch at many moments of the season. I think he showed me that he’s a great person by introducing me last season, but the team he left behind was able to win the trophy.
That Premier League crown rarely gets in the way of a busy summer, but it appears that one front is doomed to head towards the exit door.
Darwin Nunes is set to leave Liverpool
According to a Spanish report, Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has handpicked Darwin Nunez to sign this summer, with Uruguayan agents already working on the Liverpool exit. It looks like his third season as forward with the club will be his last as the slots become ruthless and Liverpool moves ahead after winning the Premier League title.
It was his three seasons that Nunes undoubtedly looked the most out-of-place on the Liverpool team.
Darwin Nunes, Liverpool (via relocation market) | exterior | the goal | assist |
|---|---|---|---|
2022/23 | 42 | 15 | 4 |
2023/24 | 54 | 18 | 15 |
2024/25 | 43 | 7 | 7 |
The numbers this season highlight Nunes struggled under the slot compared to the improvements he was making under Klopp, making it more clear than ever that he has to go ahead to find his best form.
When described as “outstanding” by Klopp, it appears that Nunes is destined to leave Anfield, not the player he believed he signed in 2022.
