Liverpool are facing a busy summer transfer window, with speculation already rife just days after it opened. Among the most intriguing stories is the potential return of former striker Darwin Nunez, while Manchester United have made their stance clear on a possible sale to their fierce rivals.
Nunez's Affection for Liverpool
Reports from Uruguay's World Cup camp suggested that Nunez is set to re-sign for Liverpool this summer. However, these claims have been downplayed by sources close to the club. Despite this, the forward's feelings towards his former team have resurfaced.
Nunez joined Al-Hilal from Liverpool last summer but was dropped from their squad after Karim Benzema's arrival in January. In an interview with AUFTV in March, he spoke warmly about his time at Anfield: "Yes, I'd be lying if I said no, that I don't miss them. The truth is they made me feel very good and my family too. In difficult moments that I went through personally, the people always gave me that affection, that support and that was very important to me. Obviously I miss Liverpool, I miss them a lot."
Man Utd Block Rashford Transfer
Manchester United have reportedly prevented Liverpool and Manchester City from pursuing Marcus Rashford this summer. According to The Athletic, the forward is available for £40 million due to a clause in his contract, but that clause does not apply to United's fiercest rivals.
Rashford spent last season on loan at Barcelona, helping them win La Liga with 14 goals and ten assists. However, the Spanish club opted not to make the move permanent, and the 28-year-old is expected to return to Old Trafford. Clubs like Arsenal and Bayern Munich have been linked, while former Liverpool goalkeeper David James believes the Reds should make a speculative offer.
