Barcelona is looking for a new recruit to strengthen their forward line, and with their top two goals look impossible, searching the market for alternative options. Liverpool Vooruit Darwin Nunez is a player who is available.
After Nico Williams Barcelona had rejected, and with Luis Diaz an impossible deal for the Blaugrana, director of Football Deco was forced to investigate alternative options. One of those options is Nunez, who is looking for a new start after throwing away the pecking order in Liverpool.
For some time it seemed that Nunez might be on its way to Napoli, but conversations between Liverpool and Napoli did not come true. Exterior caught explaining that Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr are most interested in a move for the International International in Uruguay. Liverpool starts with negotiations for € 70 million and would probably come closest to an offer from Saudi Arabia.
In the meantime, Barcelona and AC Milan also keep an eye on the situation of Nunez, should be a more feasible option.
In recent months it has been Atletico Madrid who has been more closely linked to Nunez. Questions had taken place in recent months and Los Colchoneros looked at alternatives in advance. Nunez was enthusiastic about moving to Madrid, but Atletico has decided to move for other options, with breathola lookman now in their sights, after the signing of Thiago Almada.
Based on other reporting on Barcelona's position on Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford, a movement for Nunez seems unlikely, especially at the price that Liverpool asks for. If Nunez would become available for a loan agreement, that could shift the case, but in theory Barcelona is also looking for a different style of Vooruit.
