“This is the best chance to get rid of such an inefficient striker. Now that Arsenal are keen to sign and he is also willing to make the move, let him go and get another player to replace him before it is too late.” – This is according to Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher as he advises Liverpool to consider selling Darwin Nunez as Arsenal shows serious in the player.

It has been sensationally claimed that Liverpool could sell Darwin Nunez to Arsenal before Friday’s transfer deadline, with the deal being described as “improbable but not impossible.”

Nunez has had a challenging start to the season under new coach Arne Slot, continuing to find himself on the bench, much like at the end of the last season under Jurgen Klopp.

Although he made a brief appearance against Brentford, he quickly found himself offside, which led to some frustration among fans. Meanwhile, Diogo Jota has solidified his position as the preferred choice for the central forward role.

Despite these struggles, the idea of Liverpool selling Nunez to Arsenal seems far-fetched, especially given the source of the rumor, “AFCAMDEN,” who previously suggested that Curtis Jones might be headed to Arsenal—claims that Liverpool took with more than a grain of salt.

Furthermore, Liverpool has consistently maintained a firm stance on Nunez. According to a report from the ECHO last month, amid interest from Turkey, the club has “no intention” of selling the striker, either through a loan or a permanent deal.

However, it’s possible that Slot’s opinion on Nunez might have changed after observing him at the start of the campaign. While player exchanges between top clubs have become more common in recent times, the prospect of Nunez moving to Arsenal remains unlikely.

Arsenal currently relies on players it acquired from Chelsea and Manchester City, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, as its primary forward options. In this context, a move for Darwin Nunez would fit a familiar pattern for the club.

Reports suggest that Nunez is “keen” on a move to London, eager to team up with Mikel Arteta and compete for trophies. (Nunez did win silverware with Liverpool last season, which is more than he would have achieved at Arsenal.)

However, it seems unlikely that Liverpool will write off their club-record signing so soon. Coach Arne Slot has repeatedly highlighted the quality of the squad he inherited and plans to enhance it further through coaching.

According to Liverpool.com, the idea of selling Nunez is part of the “silly season” of transfer rumors. It’s highly improbable that Liverpool would suddenly decide to part with Nunez with only days left in the transfer window and no time to find a suitable replacement.

While Jota is currently ahead in the pecking order, his history of injuries makes it essential for Liverpool to have other quality attacking options. If anything, Liverpool needs more depth in their attack, not less. This potential deal isn’t worth serious consideration.
