This season, Darwin Núñez (24 years old) is gaining momentum in Jurgen Klopp’s team. He already has the same number of goals as his tally from last season in the Premier League (9), with more assists. However, the Uruguayan would not have been kept if a big offer had arrived on the table according to The Sun. The English daily informs us that Chelsea were interested in signing the Liverpool star striker.

Paul Winstanley, then of Chelsea’s sporting director, asked if Darwin Núñez would be available for a transfer. The arrival of the former Benfica player would have solved the problem of the center forward that the Blues are missing. If the operation had been carried out, Liverpool would have thought of Joao Felix to succeed him in a completely different register.
