Liverpool is on the verge of selling Darwin Nunez, with Napoli emerging as his preferred destination. 


The Reds are also targeting two top strikers Alexander Isak from Newcastle United and Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt as his replacement.


Swedish striker, Isak, is a top target for Liverpool, valued highly due to his technical prowess, pace, and finishing ability, although Newcastle is unlikely to let him go easily, but a significant offer could change their minds, potentially around £100 million.


Also, 22-year-old French striker, Ekitike, has impressed in the Bundesliga, scoring 19 goals and providing 8 assists last season, and Liverpool is discussing a possible €100 million transfer, but the deal is not imminent.


Talks between Liverpool and Napoli are ongoing, with Napoli trying to lower the asking price of €58 million for Nunez's transfer, and if Nunez leaves, Liverpool will have the funds to pursue a big-money signing like Ekitike.
