Milan set sights on Liverpool outcast Darwin Nunez | OneFootball

With the Rossonerri seeking a high-quality forward to enhance the quality up-top ahead of next season, Milan have short-listed Liverpool outcast Darwin Nunez and are monitoring the situation of the Uruguayan international.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that with the London reds set to part-ways with the 25-year-old after an underwhelming three-year stint since arriving from Benfica in the summer of 2022, the Rossonerri have opened their tabs and are earmarking the €45m striker.

Despite Nunez having a horrendous season in which he only slotted five goals and three assists in 30 games-played in the Premier League, Milan view the former Benfica forward as an ideal candidate that could either play as a sole-striker deployed up-top or partner-up alongside Santiago Gimenez in a two-forward formation.

As it stands, the Uruguayan has attracted the interest of Napoli as Conte seeks a back-up to Belgian marksman Romelu Lukaku, as well as several Saudi oufits intrigued by the idea of bringing in Nunez.

Whilst Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic and Matteo Retegui of Atalanta remain at the top of Milan’s priorities for their significant striker signing, the arrival of Nunez is beginning to emerge as a concrete possibility.
