NEWS : AC Milan enter race to sign Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez

Nunez is expected to leave Liverpool this summer after the club signed Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt for £69million.

The Uruguayan has endured a frustrating time at Anfield, scoring 25 goals in 95 Premier League appearances.

Nunez cost the Reds an initial £64m when he joined from Benfica in June 2022, with potential add-ons and bonuses taking the fee to £84m. That would have been a club-record fee for Liverpool if they hadn’t just spent £100m on Florian Wirtz.

It was reported in July that the Premier League champions want £70m for the 26-year-old, which is a wildly unrealistic asking price that no club has come close to offering.

Napoli were heavily linked with the striker before signing the much cheaper Lorenzo Lucca from Udinese.

Since then, it’s mainly been Juventus and Saudi Arabia linked with a move for Nunez, with the latter appearing to be the most realistic option.

However, it’s now being reported that Milan are interested in signing Nunez.

According to Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, the Liverpool striker is Milan’s ‘first choice for the attack’ and are ‘making an attempt’ to sign him.

In a short and sweet article, Di Marzio claims that ‘negotiations remain difficult’, with Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund, Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic, and Stade Rennes’ Arnaud Kalimuendo ‘also on the list’.

Al Hilal’s interest in Nunez is mentioned, although the Rossoneri ‘have already spoken to the player’ and the Saudi Pro League champions are yet to ‘submit an official offer’.
