Napoli has identified Darwin Nunes as the main target for the striker role ahead of the 2025/26 season, with club officials working to explore every path to bring Uruguay to Italy.
Despite interest in several other European forwards, the Serie A club has made it clear that they will not move forward with alternative options until they fully evaluate the possibility of signing Nunes from Liverpool.
Napoli will continue talking with Liverpool about signing with Nunes this summer, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Naples remains interested in signing Darwin Nunes
The Serie A winners are waiting to see if they can handle the pay package and finances that come with the relocation of Reds attackers.
“Darwin Nunes remains Napoli’s priorities and dream target as a center striker. The club will not advance/close various options until they have the opportunity to win Nunes.
“The talk will continue next week to understand whether transfer fees and pay are feasible.”
Naples manager Antonio Conte personally approved Nunes’ pursuit, believing that he could thrive under his tactical system.
Speaking will resume next week between representatives of Naples, Liverpool and players.
These discussions focus on the financial feasibility of the transaction, including not only potential transfer fees, but also Nunes pay packages.
If he leaves Liverpool, what will it be next for Nunes?
The move to Naples offers Nunes a fresh start, a normal few minutes and an opportunity to be the focus of Conte’s new project.
We will also provide the Merseyside Club with the necessary funds to carry out the transfer project.
It’s clear that the Premier League champions are going to offload Nunez as they’re chasing other targets like Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt this summer.
The Reds reportedly set an appeal price of 50 million euros to attackers.
