Liverpool’s forward, Darwin Nunez, is rocking with a new hair style as he gears up to play for Uruguay in the Copa America game.
The 24-year-old player, who had a mixed season at Anfield, now has cornrows with a tiny bun at the back of his head.
Nunez’s time with Liverpool saw both good and bad moments. He netted 18 goals and had 13 assists in 54 games in all events.
Despite his contributions, he found himself starting only once in Jurgen Klopp’s final six Premier League matches, with his last goal of the season coming in early April against Sheffield United.
This sparked rumors about his next moves, especially after he wiped all mentions of Liverpool from his Instagram.
Yet, it seems he will stay with Liverpool’s team under the new coach, Arne Slot, in the 2024/25 season, as there hasn’t been much real chatter about him leaving.
Just weeks after Slot’s appointment, Nunez made a statement by scoring a hat-trick in Uruguay’s 4-0 victory over Mexico, sending a clear message to his new coach.
As Nunez gears up for Uruguay’s Copa America, he’s facing a lot of heat to step up for his country.
Despite the tough spot, he’s shone bright, scoring eight goals and setting up three in seven games for Uruguay post-World Cup.
His brilliant performances has won him the praise of former Liverpool ace Luis Suarez, who now sees Nunez as one of the top front men in the game.

Suarez, in talks with AUF TV and noted by ESPN, shared his high view of Nunez’s skills and tough spirit.
“I admire his playing style and enjoy watching him. Since his time at Penarol, I’ve been in touch with him indirectly. One game, where he netted three goals, particularly caught my eye.”
People often commented on the chances he missed, but he also created many opportunities.
I experienced similar critiques, but his determination is what matters most; he never stopped working to get better.
Nunez has shown his versatility and willingness to adapt, both on and off the pitch.
Earlier in the season, he surprised fans by switching from his usual ponytail to braided pigtails for Liverpool’s match against Fulham.
His latest hairstyle change ahead of the Copa America is another example of his dynamic personality.
As Uruguay prepares to face Panama in Florida, all eyes will be on Nunez to see if he can continue his impressive form and lead his nation to success in the tournament.
With support from both his national team and Liverpool fans, Nunez is ready to rise to the challenge and make a significant impact this summer.
