Nunez has expressed his desire to join Napoli, and personal terms are being discussed. As a result, Liverpool is keen to recoup a substantial portion of the fee they paid Benfica for the forward, which is reportedly around £85 million. If successful, this move would allow Liverpool to reinvest the funds in other players.

Some potential targets for Liverpool include Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon and Alexander Isak from Newcastle United. Meanwhile, Napoli boss Antonio Conte is said to be a fan of Nunez, and the club is expected to make moves to replace him if the transfer is completed.
