A year ago, during the summer transfer window, Anfield fans were thrilled with the arrival of Darwin Nunez, as the striker from Benfica promised to become the team's new star, which is why Liverpool's board paid 80 million euros for him.

 

However, in his debut season he failed to show why the Reds' board paid so much money for him, and Nunez came from scoring 30 goals in his last year in Portuguese football, so many expected him to at least get close to that amount of goals in Liverpool, but the Uruguayan striker fell far short of that, as he could only score 9 goals in the Premier League.

With the definitive departure of the legend Roberto Firmino, Jürgen Klopp expected Darwin to become the new benchmark in the attack of our Liverpool, but it seems that the expectations have been too big for him. So much so that even Liverpool had to look for a new striker in the winter market, as they paid 42 million euros for Cody Gakpo, who in less time scored only two goals less than the Uruguayan.

Although the team's top priority is to sign one more midfielder and a defender, it has been reported that Klopp is looking to sign a new striker, especially if it is a world-class attacker who could position Liverpool as one of the most dangerous teams in Europe once again, but to bring a player of those characteristics, the Reds would have to pay a large amount of money, and there is talk of an amount close to 180 million euros.

 

Who is the 180 million striker who could arrive at Anfield?

A few days ago, several media reported that the Liverpool board would meet with the entourage of Victor Osimhen, the Napoli striker who was the top scorer in Serie A last season. To try to convince Napoli, it is estimated that the offer should be around 180 million euros, the price at which they have valued the 24-year-old striker.
