The Uruguayan has received much criticism over his finishing this season, but he has still registered 18 goals and 13 assists for the Reds.

Nunez has been a clear favourite under manager Jurgen Klopp , but the scenario could change with Arne Slot set to replace the German.

There are suggestions that Slot could prefer a new striker up front and he could consider a reunion with Feyenoord ace Santiago Gimenez .

Amidst this, Liverpool have opened the door for the departure of Nunez, but the big question is whether Barcelona can afford his signature.

Liverpool will want to recoup the €75m fee spent up front to sign him from Benfica, but Barcelona are not in a position to meet such demands.

The Catalan giants are most likely to propose an initial loan deal for the 24-year-old with an option to purchase at the end of the campaign.
