Darwin Nunez has made Napoli his top choice for a summer transfer, with the Liverpool striker reportedly focused on a move to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona despite attracting interest from several other clubs.
Sources close to the situation confirm that the Uruguay international has clearly expressed his preference for joining the reigning Serie A champions, making them his priority amid ongoing negotiations.
Napoli, who are in the midst of reshaping their squad for the new season, view Nunez as their first-choice striker target. The club is currently prepared to offer around €42-43 million for the 25-year-old, though Liverpool are holding firm on a €50 million valuation.
While there is still a gap between the two clubs in terms of fee, Napoli are willing to be patient as they work toward a deal. Progress could depend on the sale of current forward Victor Osimhen, who is expected to leave and whose departure would provide both financial flexibility and a vacant role in the attack.
Napoli have no plans to pursue alternative striker targets until talks with Liverpool over Nunez reach a conclusion. The Partenopei are committed to landing the former Benfica forward and are optimistic that a deal can be reached later in the window.
Nunez, who has shown flashes of brilliance at Anfield but struggled with consistency, could benefit from a fresh start in Italy, while Napoli see him as an ideal fit to lead their front line under the club’s evolving project.
