Nunez agrees to join Napoli

The Uruguayan striker is ready to move to Italy to play next season.

Nunez is about to leave Liverpool.

Football Italia say Napoli hope to complete the deal for around €50m, or even less depending on negotiations with Liverpool. Nunez has personally given the green light to join Napoli. However, the two sides need to agree on personal terms for the former Benfica star.

Previously, the Guardian reported that Nunez accepted the fact that he no longer played an important role at Anfield. Liverpool also wanted to liquidate Nunez because he did not fit the tactics of coach Arne Slot, at the same time making room for expensive new recruit Florian Wirtz.

Since joining Anfield from Benfica in 2022 for a club-record fee of £85m, Nunez has failed to live up to expectations, with the 25-year-old scoring just 40 goals in three seasons at Liverpool.

Nunez is on the list of strikers that Napoli is considering recruiting at the request of coach Antonio Conte. The new Serie A champion of the 2024/25 season is determined to strengthen its squad to prepare for the next Champions League season.

Before being interested in Nunez, Napoli welcomed two new players, Kevin De Bruyne and Luca Marianucci. Italian media reported that coach Conte was given 200 million euros by the board of directors to recruit new players this summer.

In addition to Nunez, Napoli also expressed interest in MU's Jadon Sancho. However, this midfielder's very high salary (250,000 pounds/week) is a big barrier.
