Michael Owen has informed Talksport that he believes that Darwin Nunez will not be in Liverpool next season.
He also suggested Boldy to a swap deal with the red for one of the shape of the Premier League in Alexander Isak.

Nunez impressed Liverpool last season after scored 18 goals and scored another 13, but struggled in the current campaign.
In 40 games, the Uruguayan only put the Champions League shooting against Paris Saint-Germain in the early this month.
Talksport understands that Liverpool is willing to take offers for Nunez into account, and the Reds legend Owen believes that it will be left.
“I can’t see Darwin Nunez in a Liverpool shirt next season,” he said to talk sport. “I think there is also interest in him.
“I think one or two Premier League teams are interested. Of course there is also foreign interest.
“So I can’t see that Darwin Nunez is a Liverpool player next season.”
If Liverpool sells the 25-year-old this summer, Newcastle striker Isak could certainly appear as the top destination.
But when asked whether the Swede would be a “perfect fit” for the red for the red, Owen suggested a player exchange with Nunez and said: “Even a swap deal.”
He later added: “If Isak were available, Liverpool would of course do everything in his power in order to get someone like this.
“But Arsenal, Arsenal would be absolutely desperate for such a player. Who wouldn’t be desperate for such a player?

“But from Newcastle’s point of view you just can’t let him go. I hear what you say about the compensation of the books … let’s say in loans, we say with the financial rules that she would massively recognize.
“But what? Then you can get £ 150 million for him and then spend £ 100 million or £ 120 million for four £ 30 million players.
“You prefer Isak, he is the one who is absolutely defeated in this elite level. Only get three or four decent players is not too special players.
“Look at these teams that win the leagues all the time, see Liverpool this year, you have the best half of the world in the world [Virgil van Dijk].
“You have one of the best attackers in the world in Mo Salah, you have the best goalkeeper in the world [Alisson].
“You have to have the very, very elite, at least two, three, four of you in certain positions, and then you can get confused with other players.

“But he is one that you have to build. You already have a really strong midfield and with Isak in advance you have half a chance there.”
Liverpool is very familiar with Isak and its quality in front of the goal when he joined her on March 16 at the Carabao Cup final in the Carabao Cup.
It was his 23rd goal in all competitions, with the 25-year-old probably a sought-after player in summer.
However, the window could be closed on August 14 before the start of the new season, and the Premier League clubs discuss the idea.
