Liverpool planning to hijack Arsenal's move for Viktor Gyokeres as Sporting CP striker eyed to replace Darwin Nunez

<p>After joining Liverpool from Benfica in 2022, Nunez has endured a mixed spell at the club, with flashes of promise overshadowed by inconsistency in front of goal. Although Al-Nassr attempted to sign him during the January transfer window, it is Napoli who now seem poised to secure his signature in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/darwin-nunez-federico-chiesa-both-agree-transfers-same-serie-a-club-liverpool-work-on-blockbuster-striker-signing/blt8b1c6a6ab2e23afe" target="_blank">a deal that could be worth around €50 million</a> (£43m/$58m). </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Arne Slot is eager to fill that void, and, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cmjornal.pt/desporto/futebol/detalhe/liverpool-entra-na-corrida-por-gyokeres" target="_blank"><em>Correio da Manha</em></a>,&nbsp;they are preparing to disrupt Arsenal’s pursuit of Gyokeres, with the Sporting CP striker now being identified as a leading candidate to replace Nunez. The Merseyside club has instructed intermediaries to get them information about the exact asking price for the 26-year-old, who is believed to have a release clause of €80m (£68m/$93m).</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Gyokeres has already made it clear to Sporting that he wants to leave this summer, following a stellar campaign in which he finished as one of the top scorers across Europe. Arsenal have been leading the race for him in recent weeks, but Liverpool are reportedly preparing a serious push to beat their rivals to the striker's signature. The striker has previously <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/viktor-gyokeres-transfer-preference-arsenal-juventus-interest-man-utd-snub-explained/blt80a40040dbc6edd6" target="_blank">rejected a potential reunion with former Sporting boss Ruben Amorim</a> at Manchester United and is carefully weighing his next move.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>In addition to Nunez, Colombian winger Luis Díaz is also being linked with a departure from Liverpool. Barcelona are reportedly monitoring his situation closely and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/luis-diaz-determined-join-barcelona-bombshell-new-report-claims-colombian-winger-doesnt-feel-valued-liverpool/bltbd45195b84326480" target="_blank">are described as “very interested”</a> in securing his services. If those sales are completed, Liverpool will have the funds necessary to invest further after breaking the British transfer record to sign Florian Wirtz. A move for Gyokeres, with his scoring pedigree, may soon become a priority for the Anfield hierarchy.</p>
