Liverpool is counting on Nunez as a future project of the team but they are consolidating their team in many ways. Until now they bought Dominik Szoboszlai from Leipzig and Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton.
Since Firmino planning to leave to Saudi Arabia Al Ahli presumably then Nunez importance will be more clear and he has to prove himself.
Liverpool will depend extensively on Darwin Nunez to lead the line this season, but it will be a difficult battle for the Uruguayan, who is still fighting to find his place in the team. Jurgen Klopp feels he will progress further if given the opportunity. This season, he will get consistent playing time, and I hope he measures up to the supporters' expectations. The departure of Robert Firmino will shift the club's reliance on goal scoring to Darwin Nunez and Mohammed Salah, however the Egyptian has always proven himself worthy of wearing jersey 11 in the team, so the big question that pop-up, can Darwin Nunez be competing interms of goal scoring in the club and the premier league?
