The decision has been made: what Liverpool have done about Barcelona's bid for Darwin Núñez

Barcelona's pursuit of a new striker has led them to the door of Liverpool, but their initial offer for Uruguay international Darwin Núñez has been swiftly rejected. The Catalan giants tabled a €40 million bid for the former Benfica star, but Liverpool manager Arne Slot has made it clear that Núñez is not for sale.
Since his high-profile move to Anfield, Núñez has been a regular fixture in Slot’s starting XI. Despite some inconsistent performances, the Dutch manager believes in the Uruguayan's potential and sees him as a key part of his future plans. Slot has been working closely with Núñez to help him adapt to the Premier League and improve his overall game.
Barcelona, meanwhile, are in the market for a new striker to bolster their attacking options. The club has been linked with a number of forwards in recent weeks, but Núñez has emerged as a top target. However, with Liverpool unwilling to sell, the Catalan giants may have to look elsewhere.
It remains to be seen whether Barcelona will return with an improved offer for Núñez. Liverpool are in a strong financial position and are unlikely to sell one of their key players on the cheap. With the transfer window still open, this saga is likely to continue in the coming weeks.
