Nunez immediately deleted the controversial post and replaced it with a photo with Alexis Mac Allister. |
On the night of April 26 ( Hanoi time), the Uruguayan player posted a status hinting at his dissatisfaction at not being a regular starter, then quickly deleted it.
The post alluded to the fact that he had played well in his last Premier League appearance, but had been repeatedly left out of the starting line-up since.
"I'm not surprised that I won't be playing anymore. In my last Premier League start, I played quite well, and then..." was Nunez's message.
Nunez has not started for Liverpool since March 8. Some sources in Portugal believe the reason is related to financial terms. Liverpool will have to pay Benfica an additional 5 million euros if Nunez reaches the milestone of 60 starts in the Premier League and Champions League.
The striker has currently made 59 appearances from the start, raising suspicions that the Anfield team is deliberately "holding on" to him before selling him outright in the summer of 2025. However, coach Arne Slot has flatly denied this, affirming that all personnel decisions are based on expertise.
Nunez's actions have drawn criticism from Liverpool fans. Instead of boosting the team's unity at a crucial time, the 25-year-old striker has made a controversial move. This move comes at a sensitive time when "The Kop" is only one point away from the Premier League title.
Nunez's future at Anfield is now uncertain. According to The Athletic , he is said to be considering leaving. On the contrary, Liverpool want to push him to Saudi Arabia to recoup capital because the striker cannot meet expectations.
