Darwin Núñez to Napoli Off; Napoli Signs Lorenzo Lucca Napoli end Darwin Núñez pursuit after signing Lorenzo Lucca from Udinese for €35M. Saudi clubs now back in race for the Liverpool striker. Shortest90 July 16, 2025 Napoli’s pursuit of Darwin Núñez has officially come to an end. The Italian club has verbally agreed a deal with Udinese for Italian striker Lorenzo Lucca, closing the door on their interest in the Liverpool forward. The deal for Lucca is reported to be worth €35 million, structured as a loan with an obligation to buy. Once that agreement was reached, Napoli immediately informed Liverpool that their negotiations for Núñez were over. The decision puts an end to weeks of speculation linking the Uruguayan striker with a move to Serie A. Núñez, 25, remains one of the key names expected to leave Liverpool this summer. Talks between the player’s camp and the club reportedly began as early as January or February, with both sides agreeing that a summer departure was likely. Despite the interest from Napoli, the move ultimately collapsed as the Italian side turned their attention to Lucca. However, the Núñez saga is far from over. Saudi Arabian clubs are now expected to re-enter the race, having previously shown strong interest in the Liverpool striker. According to reports, Núñez had initially prioritized a move to Napoli over the lucrative offers from the Middle East, but with the Italian route now closed, the Saudis could make a renewed push. More European clubs may also enter the race in the coming weeks as Núñez’s situation continues to develop. While Liverpool remains focused on strengthening their squad for the new season, the future of their big-money signing from Benfica in 2022 is a key subplot of their transfer window. Darwin Núñez’s Liverpool journey has been a mixed one. Despite flashes of brilliance and a respectable goal tally, the striker has struggled for consistency in the Premier League. With the club looking to refresh its attacking options under new management, a transfer could be the best outcome for both sides. Meanwhile, Lorenzo Lucca’s move to Napoli signals a new chapter for the Italian striker. Having impressed at Udinese, Lucca will now have the chance to lead the line for the reigning Serie A champions as they aim to bounce back from a disappointing campaign. As one door closes for Núñez, another opens for Lucca — and the summer transfer window is just heating up.

Barcelona Sign Promising Swedish Winger Rooney Bardghji Barcelona sign 18-year-old Swedish winger Rooney Bardghji from FC Copenhagen for €2 million. Here’s what he brings to the team and why it’s a smart move for the future. Shortest90 July 13, 2025 Barcelona have completed the signing of highly rated Swedish winger Rooney Bardghji from FC Copenhagen in a move that reflects the club’s ongoing strategy of building for the future. The 18-year-old has signed a four-year contract, with the transfer fee reported to be €2 million plus a sell-on clause for the Danish side. After weeks of negotiations and growing speculation, the deal is now official. Bardghji had been on the radar of several European clubs, most notably FC Porto, who were close to securing him. However, Barcelona moved swiftly and decisively, with sporting director Deco pushing hard to bring the youngster to Camp Nou. Deco saw an opportunity to sign a special talent early before his price skyrocketed, and convinced the club to act fast. What Does Bardghji Bring? Rooney Bardghji is known for his technical flair, quick feet, and ability to operate on either wing. A left-footed attacker who often plays on the right, he has drawn comparisons to early versions of Ansu Fati and even Riyad Mahrez for his smooth dribbling and clever movement. Bardghji made his senior debut for Copenhagen at just 16 and has since impressed in both the Danish Superliga and European competitions. Barcelona see him as a developmental talent who can eventually become a regular first-team player. For now, he will train with the senior squad while also featuring for Barça Atlètic (U21 team) to ensure consistent minutes and gradual adaptation to Spanish football. Separate From His Brother There had been some confusion surrounding the involvement of Rooney’s younger brother, Ryan Bardghji, a 15-year-old talent also admired by Barcelona scouts. However, reliable sources have confirmed that Ryan is not part of this deal. While the club appreciates Ryan’s potential and are monitoring his development, any discussions regarding him will happen separately. A Smart Investment for the Future This transfer follows the pattern of other recent smart, low-cost signings made by Barcelona in recent years—such as Pedri and Ronald Araújo—who were picked up early and developed into core first-team players. Bardghji, with his experience at a young age and clear upside, fits perfectly into this mold. His versatility, creativity, and composure in the final third make him a very exciting addition to Xavi’s long-term project. If his development goes to plan, Bardghji could be another gem polished at Camp Nou.
