Nunez has not started a match for Liverpool since March, and it's possible that this may be his last Premier League start for the club. This is because the Uruguayan striker has already reached 49 appearances in the Premier League and Champions League combined, which triggers the €5 million payment to Benfica.

As Nunez is close to triggering the €5 million payment, it's likely that Liverpool will try to avoid paying it. The club may be looking to bring in new players to strengthen their team ahead of the new season, and Nunez's current form may not be enough to justify keeping him in the team.
