The name Darwin Núñez is still reverberating in the transfer market, and it looks like he could switch clubs this summer. The Uruguayan striker is on Napoli’s radar, and they are looking positively at his arrival to bolster their attack. But the transition will be far from easy.
This is the price to pay for Darwin Núñez
Although Núñez is willing to take the plunge and join the Italian club, the biggest obstacle lies in the high price Liverpool are demanding. The Reds have set a high sum of around £70 million, which Napoli consider too expensive for their current budget, according to The Mirror.

From Italy, the Napoli management is carefully considering whether they can make a bid approaching this amount, or whether they will have to look for other options in the market. For the time being, the attitude is clear: They will not get carried away in a negotiation that could create an imbalance in the economy.
At the same time, Liverpool stand firm in their position, knowing that they have a young player with great potential, who has shown his goalscoring flair in one of the world’s most competitive leagues. Therefore, they are not willing to let go of such a valuable player without further ado.
This back-and-forth situation keeps fans on edge, while they wait for a solution soon. Meanwhile, Darwin Núñez’s future remains uncertain – whether he ends up donning the Napoli shirt or stays in England to continue his journey with Liverpool.
One thing is clear: the summer will be intense, and whether Darwin Núñez ends up in Italy will largely depend on Napoli’s ability to negotiate and get closer to the amount Liverpool demand.
