The Saudi Al Hilal striker is monitoring Barcelona's moves to include him as a replacement for Julian Alvarez. Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez returned to the Saudi Al Hilal club camp after the World Cup break, amid continuing negotiations to terminate his contract by mutual consent between the two parties.
The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" reported that Nunez (26 years old) is currently training with Al Hilal, but his representatives are monitoring with great interest the movements of FC Barcelona, which is looking to strengthen its attacking line during the current summer transfer period.
Details
It is noteworthy that Nunez's situation in Al Hilal club became more complicated after the technical staff, led by Italian coach Simone Inzaghi, decided to rely on Frenchman Karim Benzema in the team's plan, which did not give the Uruguayan striker any opportunity to participate in any official match with Al Hilal shirt since last February 16.
Mundo Deportivo indicated that the Blaugrana management places Argentine striker Julian Alvarez at the top of its list of priorities, but Atletico Madrid's exaggeration in its financial demands makes completing this deal very difficult.
This interest comes amid uncertainty surrounding the future of Catalan club striker Ferran Torres, whom Paris Saint-Germain is awaiting an opportunity to sign.
