Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has managed just two goals in the Premier League this season in 14 matches.
The Uruguayan striker has had difficulties performing for Arne Slott’s team this season. He has had many opportunities to play this season due to injuries to other strikers.
However, the Dutch coach is still unable to get the best out of him this season, despite the improvement in performance of other players at Anfield.
The Premier League leaders are now looking to replace him and sign a prolific striker at the club.
According to a report in Group talkThe Premier League giants are monitoring Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak and Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram to replace the struggling Nunez at Anfield.
Both strikers have enjoyed good seasons at their club and Liverpool’s interest in their services is no surprise.
Liverpool want a new striker to lead their attack
Liverpool staff are keen to complete the ambitious transfer raid
Isak has scored 12 Premier League goals this season in 17 appearances for Eddie Howe’s side, while Thuram has found the back of the net 12 times in 18 Serie A appearances for the Italian champions.
Adding Isaac or Thuram would bolster Liverpool’s attack and add a deadly presence in front of goal. It will give them another option, other than Mohamed Salah, to score goals.
The report stated that Liverpool is upset by the high evaluation of Newcastle United player Isaac.
The Magpies reportedly want a record fee for their striker and the Reds are reluctant to pay that.
Signing a striker like Isaac or Thuram in the January transfer window would be very difficult for the Merseyside club. They will have to wait until the summer transfer window in order to make the big move.
Financially, the Reds are in a great position to spend money given they did not spend much in the summer transfer window last year.
Italian League Giants Italian club AC Milan have been linked to signing Nunez.
