Former Liverpool Dirk Kuyt believes that Darwin Nunez ‘Anfield Future stays in his own hands despite a disappointing season.
The Uruguay international only achieved seven times for the red and earned both the praise and the complaint from head coach Arne Slot for his efforts on the field.
The title debt of the Premier League in Liverpool was again powered by Mohamed Salah with 32 goals in all competitions, but his contract runs in June in June and without any signs that could have big changes this summer.
Potential new strikers have already been associated with speculation Nunez may be continued, and Kuyt said that this was the reality of the game for the club.
“I was friends with Pepe Reina and after the first season he congratulated me with the fact that I was in Liverpool for a year and said:” Actually, you can stay in Liverpool every year, it is his own championship, “he told the PA news agency for the Liverpool legend against Chelsea on Saturday in Anfield.
“Not only the players who try to throw them out of the team there, but someone comes in their place every year.
“I played the first season with (Craig) Bellamy and (Peter) Crouch and was the top scorer and thought: ‘I will be fine for the next season and then the club Fernando Torres signed.
“You always have to stay in Liverpool best, and every player has to appear day in day and day, and you know if you don’t run any other player to fill your place.
“If you know Arne Slot a little every day, he will have tried to get Darwin to get the best out of him so that he will never stop, and then the player decides whether he will play or not because he has to appear.
“If you have a teammate like Mo Salah-or in my time Fernando Torres and these boys make so easy that all supporters want to score so many goals.
“Darwin is very hard, sometimes good and sometimes not the goals he wanted, and that makes it difficult because the pressure is so big.”
