Now that Cristiano Ronaldo has left for Arabia, Darwin Nunez's task to overtake him in the Premier League

The year 2022 is behind us and with it, the hope that this new year will bring the best blessings to Anfield, starting with a rebound in the Premier League table, which for now the Reds remain in sixth place despite having won their last two league games against Aston Villa and Leicester City, respectively. The run of wins will need to be backed up by goals and those have to come from Darwin Núñez.

The Charrúa, who arrived last summer at Liverpool, bears the responsibility of the goal of Klopp's team, who revealed the arrival of the former SL Benfica would not only cover the departure of Belgian Dicvock Origi to Italy, as well as that of Radio Mané to Bayern Munich, so from the first minute Núñez should already respond with goals the task that the German coach deposited in him. The 23-year-old striker is also the biggest signing in the Pool's history.

But if we talk about expensive investments, there is Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr of Saudi Arabia, who gave CR7 200 million euros per season. In other words, for the two and a half years that he will be in Asian football, he will earn around 500 million euros, setting a precedent for the League and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), which has already announced that this will be the most important Champions League edition in history.

At some point the English press handled the possibility that the 37-year-old Portuguese could come to Merseyside to reinforce the Reds squad, but over time that option was diluted, and not so much by a payment that should be made to his former team like Manchester United, but with the managerial agreement that Ronaldo himself asked for, being a free agent and able to negotiate with anyone. Impossible figures for a player of his age.

Darwin needs to improve his shooting

Klopp, as well as the board, put the Cristiano Ronaldo case behind them and decided to focus on the present and future of the squad, thus closing the transfer of the jewel of the Netherlands Cody Gakpo from PSV of the Eredivisie, as well as giving support to Darwin Nunez, who during Liverpool's tour of Dubai was present on the scoreboard against AC Milan. With these players the German manager hopes to start 2023 with another win against Brentford.
