Atletico Madrid brought big on their forward line last summer, but Los Rojiblancos could be looking for a splash on the transfer market this year. With a strong history of recruiting Uruguayan players, Liverpool attacker Darwin Nunez could be the following.
The 25-year-old former Almeria Hitman arrived for a large compensation from Benfica and cost the Reds € 85 million from Benfica in 2022. After several seasons, however, it did not try to work at Anfield, he did not demonstrate that Liverpool needs that Liverpool. Under Arne Slot he was also unable to win back his place.
That is why he could be on the move this summer. Since last summer, Nunez has been interested in Saudi Aarabia, but explain to me to explain that Atletico Madrid is also interested in him. They would be willing to consider a loan movement with an obligation to buy, which in the region of € 35-40 million would be more than half of what Liverpool paid. Both Nunez and Liverpool would benefit more financially from a move to the middle -east, but if he wants to continue at the highest level, a switch to Atletico might be his best option. Al-Nassr, who count Cristiano Ronaldo to their ranks, are their most important competition.
Barcelona was linked to Nunez last summer, but it soon became clear that they would not sign number nine after the continuity of Robert Lewandowski was confirmed, which seems to be the case for next season. It would be a surprise if Atletico was big on an attacker, after he had brought Alexander Sorloth for € 32 million this summer. President Enrique Cerezo said so many weeks ago and confirmed that they were not looking for a striker.
The Noor did well this season and scored 15 goals in just 14 starts and mainly works on the bank. However, there is uncertainty about the future of Antoine Griezmann, and when he leaves, Sterman Julian Alvarez can fall deeper behind a more impressive number nine.
