According to reports, Napoli's manager Antonio Conte has already brought in new players, including Kevin De Bruyne and Luca Marianucci, and is planning to add Nunez to his squad. The player has expressed his interest in joining Napoli, and the club has been given the green light to negotiate with Liverpool.

However, the deal is still in its early stages, and Napoli is aware that Liverpool's asking price for Nunez is higher than their initial offer. The Italian club is reportedly willing to pay around €43M (£36.7m) for the Uruguayan striker, while Liverpool is demanding around €50M (£42.6m).

Nunez has struggled to find his form in the Premier League, making only eight starts under manager Arne Slot last season. A move to Italy could be the perfect opportunity for him to regain his confidence and score more goals, as Conte is likely to give him more playing time.

With 40 goals in 143 appearances, Nunez has shown his goal-scoring ability, averaging one goal every 185.8 minutes. A move to Napoli could be the key to unlocking his full potential and helping the Italian club achieve more success in the future.

Napoli's interest in Nunez is not the only attacking option they are considering, as they have also been linked with Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund. However, the Liverpool striker appears to be their main target, and the two clubs are expected to engage in direct talks to discuss the terms of the deal.

It remains to be seen whether Napoli will be able to secure a deal for Nunez, but the signs are promising, and the Italian club is optimistic about their chances of bringing the Uruguayan striker to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
