Having joined Liverpool in 2022, Darwin Núñez is known for pace and goals; he remains a key figure in Uruguay's national team and a focal point of Liverpool's attack amid ongoing squad evolutions.
Julian Ward has been appointed Liverpool's sporting director, returning to the post after a spell away with Fenway Sports Group. The move follows the departure of Richard Hughes and ongoing restructuring at Anfield. Ward has previously overseen key signings and contract renewals, and analysts see the appointment as bringing needed stability amid upheaval.
