Darwin Nunez has reportedly given his approval to make a move away from Liverpool this summer.
Nunez has further fallen behind in Liverpool head coach Arne Slot's pecking order, starting in only 17 out of the 47 appearances he made last season while registering 14 goal contributions.
While it is anticipated that Nunez is no longer a key part of Slot's plan for the rest, a potential transfer will benefit Liverpool in the financial aspect and also hopefully grant the Uruguayan star more minutes on the pitch.
Nunez has been heavily linked with a move to Napoli in the ongoing summer transfer window, and now, according to Fabrizio Romano, the 25-year-old has given his 'initial green light' to sign for the Serie A side.
However, there is one key factor that needs to be discussed between Liverpool and Napoli to make the potential transfer for Nunez happen.
What is the key factor for Darwin Nunez's transfer from Liverpool to Napoli?
Romano also reported that while the player is open to making the move, this potential deal now relies on financial feasibility, with Liverpool and Napoli reaching an agreement for the transfer fee and salary for Nunez.

Earlier reports suggested that Liverpool have set an asking price of €50 million for Nunez, while Napoli are willing to pay about €42 million. The negotiation on financial terms has been reported to be the key factor in finalizing this potential deal.
Napoli have already signed Kevin De Bruyne and Luca Marianucci in this transfer window, and have a remaining budget of €200 million available for new signings, according to Football Italia.
With his current contract with Liverpool valid until the summer of 2028, it remains to be seen what's next for Nunez.
