Darwin Núñez is reportedly being targeted for a move away from Liverpool, as Barcelona shows keen interest in acquiring his services.
According to The Sun, Barcelona is exploring the possibility of signing Erling Haaland from Manchester City. As a contingency plan, they might also consider Núñez if they are unable to secure the services of the Norwegian striker.
Haaland is widely recognized as a top global talent, but his acquisition would entail substantial expenses and require negotiation with Manchester City.
On the other hand, Núñez may be a more feasible acquisition, with Barcelona’s ability to close the deal still uncertain.
The striker from Liverpool is reportedly unhappy with his time on the field at Anfield, as he has not been a consistent starter under new manager Arne Slot.
Barcelona is expected to have the financial means to afford his weekly salary of £140,000.
Núñez was previously considered a top young striker internationally while playing for Benfica. Barcelona has the potential to nurture his talent and elevate him to a prominent position, enhancing the attractiveness of joining the Spanish club.
La Spanish league frequently draws in players from South America, increasing the appeal for Núñez. It will be interesting to see if Barcelona seeks a deal in the near future.
A relocation from Liverpool may be advantageous for all parties involved, considering his desire for a new beginning. The Reds would benefit financially from the transfer, allowing them to acquire a goal-scoring striker.
