Liverpool is ready to say goodbye to Darwin Nunez this summer, and the Uruguayan striker is ready for a move to Spain, previously hanging out with Almeria. And despite interest from many clubs, including Serie a leader Napoli, it is possible that La Liga is his most likely destination.
Nunez hopes to leave Anfield this summer after a difficult season under Arne Slot. Liverpool is ready to let him go, but hopes to collect as much money as possible from his sales. And these funds can be secured from Atletico Madrid, one of the leading candidates to sign the 25-year-old.
Atletico Madrid is in talks with Darwin Nunez
Nunez and his representatives are in discussion with Atleti officials, as reported by Cadena Ser (via Football España). And in these discussions it was revealed that the Liverpool striker is extremely interested in joining Diego Simeone’s team in the summer.
Atletico is in the market for new strikers as Angel Correa is expected to leave, but Antoine Griezmann is expected to play in a reduced role despite committing his future to the club for at least one season.
Nunes looks like a perfect fit for Atletico. If you can rediscover the form you presented before joining Liverpool, the transaction is suitable for all parties. It remains to be seen how much they can offer, given that they are linked to the moves of already Tottenham Hotspur defender Christian Romero and Aston Villa target Alex Bena.
Liverpool is nowhere other than Nunes suitors this summer, but it is likely that players themselves will depend on where they want to go. And at this stage, Atletico appears high on his wish list.
