**WHAT HAPPENED?**
According to The Sun, Barcelona is interested in signing Nunez if another club moves to acquire Lewandowski. Should they sell the Polish striker, Barcelona would significantly increase their budget to pursue Nunez. Liverpool might engage in substantial buying and selling this summer to build a new squad aligned with coach Arne Slot’s vision.
**PANORAMA**
Lewandowski’s salary for the next season is reported to be up to £27 million, which represents 15% of Barcelona’s salary budget. In contrast, Nunez, despite being a key player for Liverpool, earns only a quarter of what Lewandowski makes. The Uruguayan is said to be “absolutely happy” at Anfield but is also intrigued by the idea of moving to Barcelona. Additionally, Nunez is 11 years younger than Lewandowski.
**DO YOU KNOW?**
With only four matches remaining in the season, Lewandowski has scored 24 goals in all competitions for Barcelona. His lowest scoring tally was 25 goals for Bayern Munich in the 2014-15 season. Even if he does not add any more goals this season, Lewandowski’s record remains significantly higher than the 18 goals Nunez has scored for Liverpool so far in the 2023-24 season.
**THE FUTURE OF LIVERPOOL?**
Liverpool’s new Board of Directors, Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes, might need to make crucial decisions sooner than anticipated. Besides the rumors surrounding Nunez, Mohamed Salah’s future is also a concern. The Egyptian star will turn 32 next month and continues to attract interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
