Liverpool look set for a big shake-up in attack this summer as Darwin Nunez edges closer to an exit from Anfield.

According to respected football transfer journalist David Ornstein, the Reds have made signing a new striker their top priority and are already lining up potential replacements.

Top of the list are Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike, with Liverpool closely monitoring both players.

Nunez, who joined Liverpool from Benfica in 2022 for a hefty €85 million fee, has struggled to deliver consistently despite flashes of brilliance. Over 95 league appearances, the Uruguayan forward has scored 25 goals and provided 16 assists—numbers many feel fall short of expectations for a club chasing major honours.

New Liverpool boss Arne Slot is reportedly keen to refresh his attacking options. However, the Reds are unlikely to make any big-money moves for a new number nine unless Nunez’s departure is finalised.

Talks are already underway with clubs interested in Nunez, and progress on a transfer is expected soon.

For now, Liverpool fans will be watching closely to see if the club can land either Isak or Ekitike—two exciting prospects who could bring fresh firepower to the team’s frontline next season.
