Having signed from Benfica in the summer of 2022 for an initial fee of £64 million ($81m), the Uruguayan’s spell with the Reds has largely been characterized by mixed form.

Having fallen down the No. 9 pecking order during the final months of Jurgen Klopp’s tenure, the striker found himself behind Diogo Jota in Arne Slot’s thoughts during the infancy of his reign.
