Liverpool have remarkable deal to replace Darwin Nunez for £50m PROFIT
Liverpool can move on from Darwin Nunez and pocket a truly remarkable profit. The deal is right there waiting.
Liverpool expect to move on from Darwin Nunez this summer. The Reds had interest from Saudi Arabia last January but rejected an offer, as exclusively revealed by Anfield Watch.

The club wanted around £80m in order to sell and there's a sense that they'll get that money once the season is over. Nunez has fallen completely out of favour under Arne Slot and was actually willing to make the move mid-season.
It was only Liverpool who weren't. That hangup disappears once this campaign is done and any offers will be considered.
Everyone should expect Nunez to leave, then, and he likely won't be the only one. Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Federico Chiesa all have interest in them and all will be available.
But then comes the tricky bit. Liverpool can't let Nunez depart without replacing him - he does hold a key role in the squad, after all, as the only regularly available no.9.
And that's where a truly remarkable deal comes into play.

Liverpool have Liam Delap deal
The Guardian reports that Liam Delap will have a £30m release clause in his contract 'if' Ipswich Town are relegated from the Premier League this season. Of course, they almost certainly will be.
Delap would then be readily available and Liverpool are interested in him. They're not the only ones, though - Chelsea and Manchester United are eager to add him. Manchester City, where Delap developed, have a 20 per cent clause on any sale.
This is a deal Liverpool have in their hands, then. £30m is a bargain fee for a player who looks as talented as Delap does and Ipswich will have no choice but to accept it.
Selling Nunez for the planned price could see a profit as high as £50m, then. That would go a long way to funding other transfers - the Reds want a left-back, a centre-back and reportedly a right-back this summer.
This Delap deal looks better and better. Initial reports suggested the release clause was £40m and even then, we saw that as a magnificent deal.

£30m? Liverpool would be silly not to make it happen.
