Liverpool Star Nunez Exits Anfield, Sparks Summer Exit Rumors

Speculation about Darwin Nunez potentially leaving the club has increased after he hastily walked through the Anfield tunnel following Sunday's victory against Tottenham.

It hasn't been an easy season for the Uruguayan player at Liverpool, and he once again couldn't score during their 4-2 win against the visiting team, Spurs, led by coach Ange Postecoglou.

Nunez has been unable to score for six consecutive Premier League games. Moreover, he overlooked the ecstatic Liverpool supporters present in the stadium. These fans were overjoyed to be a part of Jurgen Klopp's second-to-last home game under his management.

On Sunday evening, the individual who is 24 years old decided to get rid of the pictures on his Instagram profile that showed him as part of Liverpool. Following the game, a fresh clip of him displayed him walking directly through the tunnel.

Nunez has a lot of followers on his Instagram profile, with 4.2 million people interested in seeing what he posts. However, nowadays, his profile only contains photos of his family, as well as pictures of him playing for his old soccer team, Benfica, and his national team, Uruguay.

Liverpool fans were left furious when Darwin Nunez walked off the field abruptly after their triumph over Tottenham on Sunday.

Nunez didn't start in the game against Spurs and had to come in as a substitute. Unfortunately, he still had difficulty scoring during the game.

Instead of starting the central striker, Klopp decided to go with a three-pronged attack led by Dutch forward Cody Gakpo against Tottenham. The central striker began the game on the bench.

In the 75th minute, Nunez was brought on as a substitute by Klopp to take the place of Luis Dias who was tired.

When he entered the field, Tottenham started playing much better. They were able to score two goals, one by Richarlison and the other by captain Son Heung-min. This made the game very intense towards the end.

During the game, Nunez had opportunities to score goals that could have secured the win, but unfortunately missed. He appeared dissatisfied with his performance after the game ended.

With his head lowered and showing no interest in acknowledging his fans in the stands, the player from South America went straight to the team's changing room while his teammates exchanged handshakes on the field.

After claiming victory against Spurs at Anfield, Nunez walked confidently down the tunnel at the end of the game.

During his second season at the club, the Uruguayan player has faced difficulties in scoring goals.

Fans of Liverpool are of the opinion that Nunez may depart from the club during the summer transfer window, as reports suggest that he is being considered as a potential target by Barcelona. This assumption is based on the player's recent behavior.

Nunez is getting paid a lot of money at Anfield, but the amount he earns - said to be about £140,000 every week - is still much less than what Lewandowski, who plays as a forward for Barcelona, is making right now.

One Liverpool supporter on X responded to Nunez walking off by saying, "I don't understand. Is he upset because he hasn't played in a few matches or because some people have been harsh on him? Regardless, he needs to mature and handle it better."

This highlights his sensitivity as a person and how it affects his game on the field. His emotions tend to overwhelm him, preventing him from feeling calm. In case he wishes to continue playing, it's necessary for the upcoming coach to tackle this mindset, according to another individual's viewpoint.
