Liverpool's £85m striker Darwin Nunez has sent shockwaves through Anfield after mysteriously deleting almost all Liverpool-related content from his Instagram account. The Uruguayan international's social media purge comes just weeks after Jurgen Klopp's emotional departure and new manager Arne Slot's arrival.
Social Media Storm
The 24-year-old forward, who joined from Benfica in 2022, removed all but one photo featuring Liverpool colours from his profile. This dramatic move follows Nunez's inconsistent second season where he scored 11 Premier League goals but faced criticism for missed chances.
Slot's First Big Test
New head coach Arne Slot now faces an immediate dilemma about the striker's future. With Barcelona reportedly interested, the Dutch manager must decide whether to rebuild Nunez's confidence or cash in on the unpredictable forward.
Liverpool fans have reacted with concern on social media, with many speculating this could signal the beginning of a summer clear-out. The club's hierarchy had previously indicated they wouldn't force players to stay against their wishes.
Pre-Season Crossroads
All eyes will now be on whether Nunez reports for pre-season training next month. His actions could force Liverpool's hand in the transfer market as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new campaign.
