Julian-Alvarez-Atletico-Madrid
Such roundedness suggests that Alvarez could succeed Nunez and replicate Suarez's brilliance on Merseyside. Jamie Carragher called him "one of the greatest players who ever played for the club," also praising the "mind-blowing" way Suarez created art on the field.
Let's not forget, Alvarez has posted 22 goals across all competitions since joining Atletico, highlighting the potency he would add to Liverpool's frontline, certainly far beyond that of Nunez.

As per Sofascore, Alvarez only missed one big chance in the Champions League this season before Atletico were controversially dumped out by their noisy neighbours. This is a far cry from Nunez's profligacy, and indeed carries a semblance of the devastating shooting Suarez produced in red.
Dynamic and fiercely intelligent, Alvarez is the perfect forward to replace Nunez and emulate another South American at Liverpool. Though it would cost a significant fee, Liverpool could bank healthily themselves if Nunez is sold, as expected, this summer.
For now, Slot will make do with his existing options as Liverpool move into the final stretch of the campaign, chasing down the Premier League title, but next year, this could be a move to ensure the club challenge for a horde of further major honours.
