Roberto Firmino has confirmed his departure from Liverpool after his stay ends on June 30, and so far Liverpool will only have Darwin Núñez as a centre-forward if they do not find a replacement for Firmino. Darwin Núñez has been very unstable this season, but maybe Klopp will start him as often as possible if Liverpool don't find another striker.
I want to address Darwin Núñez, it was not an excellent season ofcourse, yet Darwin Núñez had a very good season in the league with Liverpool. A young talent, in a new team, in a new country and language and yet he was able to bag 15 goals. We can argue about the fee but it was an okay season for Darwin Núñez in the just concluded season.
Also, with Firmino leaving and Jota always unfit, it makes sense for Liverpool to sign a new forward player
It wasn't the best season for Darwin Núñez. However, as erratic and inconsistent as Liverpool's overall performances have been, I'd say Darwin Núñez has played well enough this season. We must not forget that he is still young, not experienced enough. Moreover, it was his first season with Liverpool. He could not adapt himself well to the team. But next season maybe we will see a more composed performance from Darwin Núñez. There is no doubt that Darwin Núñez is a talented player. If the coach can use Darwin Núñez properly, he can score a lot of goals.
Firmino has been a very important player for the Liverpool squad. We don't know how Liverpool will fill his void if Firmino leaves. Liverpool has enough money. Perhaps they are looking for a new talent.
