Darwin Nunez drops fresh Liverpool future hint just hours after Jurgen Klopp farewell

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez was a late second-half substitute in their 2-0 win over Wolves on the final day.


Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has changed his Instagram profile picture after scrutiny over his performances for the Reds.

Earlier this month, the Uruguayan hit the headlines after seemingly removing all but one of his Liverpool-related social media posts. His eye-catching online activity sparked a talking point amongst Liverpool fans after facing criticism over his displays under Jurgen Klopp.

The change came after he carelessly strayed offside before missing a glorious chance in the latter stages of the 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the penultimate home match of the Reds manager's tenure at Anfield. There was a suggestion that the 24-year-old was unhappy on Merseyside and posed as a possible hint over his future with the impending change at the club.

Previously, Nunez had seven pictures of his time at Liverpool on his social media page, which have seemingly been removed. At the time of writing, the only evidence of his time at the club is a snap as he made his record-breaking move but following the 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, he has changed his profile once more.

The attacker has swapped his picture from wearing the Liverpool number nine shirt to a picture of his family, in the new 2024/25 strip from Sunday's win.

Despite his struggles in front of goal, Klopp has been unwavering in his support of the former Benfica striker - who completed his second full season in the Premier League with 11 goals and eight assists in 36 matches.

"It's tricky. Strikers have to go through these things," said Klopp recently. "That's how it is. That's a striker's life. A goalkeeper's life is make 500 saves, then one howler - and everybody talks about this.

"A striker's life is you score all the time, then you don't score for a while and then everybody asks why you don't score. It can be the most difficult thing in the world and sometimes it's the easiest thing in the world, depending on what chance you get.

"So create again, create again and try and get in the right positions to finish the situations off. It will be a really rich man or woman who can write that book [on a striker getting back to their best]. You have to go through it. I try to help them speeding it up. That says nothing about the quality of the boys."
