Darwin Núñez transfer rumours 2025 have accelerated after reports from Spain confirmed that the Liverpool striker has agreed personal terms with Atletico Madrid. The 25-year-old forward has struggled to secure a consistent starting role under Arne Slot, triggering speculation about a move away from Anfield.

Núñez, who joined Liverpool in 2022 for £85 million from Benfica, has endured a turbulent spell, often rotated out of the starting XI despite early promise. He now appears poised to move to La Liga, with Cadena SER claiming that the player has informed Atletico of his decision to join.

Atletico Agreement in Place – Liverpool Yet to Respond

While personal terms are reportedly settled, no formal agreement has yet been reached between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid. The Reds are expected to demand a fee in excess of £50 million, especially with Saudi clubs and Napoli also showing renewed interest.
