While scoring the goals that lead the team to victory, Uruguayan international Darwin Nunez has been criticised for his decision-making in front of goal, as in his first year with the club.However, with 18 goals and 13 assists in 52 games this season, he has shown growth compared to last year, and his play as a centre-forward has been refined.
It is understandable that the 24-year-old striker could have scored a few more goals if he had calmly sunk one-on-one chances against the goalkeeper. In addition, the recent poor form of the forwards in recent games has also fuelled criticism of the player.
It is not known whether the critical posts and comments from fans had an impact, but the former Benfica forward deleted all Liverpool-related photos on his social network.
This action has led to speculation that he might move on, but Fabrizio Romano said that social networking should not be linked to transfers.
“A lot of fans are asking about Darwin Nunez deleting all Liverpool-related posts from his Instagram. However, these are private things, so only Darwin can clarify why he did that.”
“For sure it’s not the best moment for him, but I’d never link social media activities with transfer market movements.”
“It’s all quiet so far, nothing is happening and for sure Darwin is looking forward to speaking to new coach Arne Slot.”

In only his second year at Anfield, and still only 24, he has plenty of room to develop and is unlikely to limit his potential this summer.However, it is also reported that manager Jurgen Klopp was keen to acquire him, and there is no chance that he will be sold in a rational decision.
However, Barcelona, who are rumoured to be interested, do not have the financial wherewithal to pull off a player whose contract runs until June 2028.At the moment, he is likely to play for Liverpool next season, but can he be a calm finisher…?
