Juventus are monitoring Darwin Nunez’s transfer status after Liverpool opened the door to a summer exit — and the Bianconeri may be ready to strike if the price drops further.
Juventus Transfer News: Darwin Nunez on Bianconeri Radar
Juventus are eyeing Darwin Nunez as a serious attacking option after missing out on Lorenzo Lucca to Napoli and struggling to agree terms with PSG over Randal Kolo Muani.
Nunez, now surplus to requirements at Liverpool, is reportedly available for around €60 million, though the Reds may be open to a loan with an obligation to buy after signing Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for €90 million.
La Stampa reports that Juve have made initial contact and are considering a late-window swoop. While the priority remains offloading Dusan Vlahovic and his high wages, Juventus are still short a No. 9 despite already landing Jonathan David.
Darwin Nunez Transfer Fee and Loan Options
Liverpool spent €85 million to sign Nunez from Benfica in 2022, expecting him to lead the post-Firmino era. But after three inconsistent seasons and since the arrival of Arne Slot, Nunez is now on the market.
-
Liverpool asking price: ~€60 million
-
Juventus preference: loan with obligation to buy
-
Contract expiry: June 2028
-
Other suitors: Napoli, Milan, Atletico Madrid, Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal
While that fee is still high, Juventus are hoping Liverpool softens their stance toward the end of the window.
A loan with a performance-based obligation could make the deal viable for Juve’s new sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, especially if Vlahovic departs.
Darwin Nunez Liverpool Stats
| Season | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022/23 | 42 | 15 | 4 |

Nunez’s form dipped significantly last season, but he’s had a promising pre-season start, scoring in a 3-1 win vs. Preston and netting a hat-trick against Stoke.
His physicality, speed and movement still make him a potentially ideal fit for Serie A — particularly under a pragmatic coach like Thiago Motta, who favors vertical transitions and dual striker systems.
Will Nunez Join Juventus?
Timing may be crucial here. Juventus are not expected to rush into a €60 million deal unless they offload Vlahovic or Kostic first. But they are also aware of Nunez’s availability and declining market value.
If no suitors from Saudi Arabia or La Liga step forward with firm bids, Liverpool may have no choice but to accept a lower offer or structure a conditional loan — something Juventus is prepared to offer.
For fans and punters watching this striker carousel unfold, Darwin Nunez’s future could be one of the more unpredictable sagas this summer.
