Liverpool star Darwin Nunez is being tracked by two Premier League clubs ahead of a potential move away from Anfield this summer.
Nunez became increasingly extradited from the Liverpool starting eleven under Jurgen Klopp and has failed to become a key player under Arne Slot this season.
The Uruguayan has only managed seven goals across all competitions this season and looks increasingly likely to leave the club in the summer if the right offer comes in.

Nunez has been linked with a move to Atletico Madrid with Diego Simeone reportedly an admirer of the striker, but now two Premier League clubs have entered the race for the former Benfica man.
According to TeamTalk both Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest are monitoring Nunez's situation, with the Carabao Cup winners wary they may have to replace Alexander Isak this summer.
Eddie Howe's side are set to be rivaled for Nunez's signature by Nottingham Forest if they secure Champions League football next season.

The report claims despite Chris Wood's outstanding form a new striker is a top priority for Nuno Espirito Santo, with Ademola Lookman and Viktor Gyokeres also admired.
If Nunez is to leave this summer, it would force Liverpool to add a striker to their ranks which would likely please Slot who has made it very obvious what he expects from a number nine.
Slot outlines what he wants from his No.9
Speaking in February, the Liverpool boss stated that he wants all his attackers to help contribute with both goals and assists.

“‘Facilitator’, nice word, I didn’t know that one yet, and scoring goals himself – that is, again, what we want to achieve in the end," he reinforced.
“In the end you want attackers and midfielders to score, we’ve spoken about our attacking midfielder as well.

“We need to get goals from many positions, including them and including centre-backs that can score from set-pieces also," he continued.

Slot then singled out the number nine position insisting that assists won't be enough for him and his striker must also be a frequent goal scorer.
“So, that’s what I just said, we are trying to work on the training ground and with the feedback we give them after the game to make the team better and better and better and in the end, the No. 9 should be a facilitator, like a winger, but a winger and a No. 9 should also score goals," he added.
