Darwin Núñez (Liverpool) has been reduced to 'Swap Deal Card'.

The British Press Express reported on the 3rd (Korea time) 'Newcastle got Alexander Isaac's chance to sign a swap contract. We are going to offer Núñez to be recruited,' the report said.

Núñez wore Liverpool's jersey through the summer 2022 transfer window. His transfer fee amounted to a whopping £85 million. But he caused controversy on and off the ground. Núñez was sent off in an English Premier League (EPL) match against Crystal Palace in the early days of joining Liverpool. I got a red card for hitting the opponent's face. He scored nine goals in 29 EPL matches in the 2022-2023 season.




The second season seemed different. Núñez scored 11 goals and 8 assists in 36 EPL games in the 2023-2024 season. But he caused another controversy at the end of the season. Núñez was criticized by fans at Jurgen Klopp's farewell ceremony. At that time, Liverpool players had their last courtesy to Klopp with 'Guard of Honor'. Núñez was the exception. He didn't give Klopp a round of applause.

Núñez is also struggling under Arne Slot this season. He made 22 league appearances, but only seven starts. In particular, he was criticized for throwing away a decisive opportunity in the league's away game against Aston Villa last month. The slot manager "I can accept it once, but twice was a bit too much. If you miss a chance, you have to fight for the team. It was not the usual Núñez."

The Express said 'Nuñez blew a huge chance against Aston Villa. The slot manager supported him, but Núñez is likely to leave Liverpool at the end of this season. Recently, fantastic talks about a swap deal involving Isaac have been talked about.' However, Newcastle are known to refute the claim. The reason is clear. Isaac has scored 19 goals in 24 league games this season. The difference is clear in 'stat' with Núñez.
