Darwin Nunez opens up on social media stance after completing £85m transfer to Liverpool

Liverpool's summer signing Darwin Nunez has said that he avoids social media due to the negative nature of the platform after games.

The Reds completed the capture of Nunez on Tuesday in a deal for an initial fee of £64.1million (€75m) and a possible £21.3m (€25m) in add-ons. The six-year contract will see him stay at Anfield until 2028 at the least.

Players and clubs have highlighted how bad social media platforms cam be for footballers, with the internet filled with racist abuse and people criticising players after every performance. Some players have avoided platforms such as Twitter and Instagram to avoid the seeing comments that he didn't like and Nunez has said that he no longer takes a look after games, instead choosing to speak to his 'family and friends'.
