Darwin Nunez has said to LEAVE Liverpool if he can’t achieve one key thing

Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has told Darwin Nunez to leave Anfield if he cannot adapt to his strengths and the players around him.

Nunez has come under fire in recent weeks for his uninspiring performances, with the Uruguayan facing criticism for his disorganization and wastefulness throughout this term.

The 24-year-old has been dropped in favor of in-form Cody Gakpo in recent games, leading to speculation over his future amid interest from Barcelona.

The former Benfica star also removed all of his Liverpool-related posts from Instagram last Sunday, further fueling rumors linking him with an Anfield exit.

Former Red Collymore admits he sympathizes with the pressure Nunez faces at Liverpool, but suggested it would be “better” for him to move this summer if he cannot adapt to his role in the team.

Speaking to CaughtOffside, Collymore said: “I was a high-profile signing at Liverpool… for a club and national record transfer fee no less.

“The pressure is relentless, the media constant, every game micro-analyzed and the fans are used to always getting on your back when the going is not so good.

“So I understand what Darwin Nunez is going through. The only question I would put to him face to face and answer in my head was: ‘Do you feel good enough to score enough goals and create enough chances. for your colleagues?

“If he is honest, he will know whether to stay or turn to the Reds and a new manager, as well as those who doubt his ability.

“Is it a Fowler, Rush, Torres, Mo or Suarez? No, of course not, but only he can answer if he can or not.”

Collymore added: “I had to change my game completely to adapt to Robbie Fowler, who I knew was going to beat me, so I created a lot for him while also scoring at a good pace.

“If Nunez can do that then he has the chance to be a resounding success for a few years at Liverpool, but if he doesn’t then it would be better for him and the club to move because there is nowhere for him to go. hide at Liverpool and the intensity of the analysis goes nowhere”.

Nunez should be given a fresh start under Arne Slot – who is almost certain to be Liverpool’s next manager – and the Dutch manager could get the best out of the misfiring striker.

However, Liverpool and Nunez must make a decision on his future soon, with the striker still far from the elite level.
