Darwin Núñez is on his way out of Liverpool, and Italy’s top clubs are taking notice. The Napoli was first to show interest, but now Milan is joining the chase for the Uruguayan international.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan wants a top striker with international experience. They see Núñez as the perfect fit. The club already signed Santiago Giménez for nearly 30 million euros, but he’s not enough. They need a “great 9” to lead their attack.
Núñez has struggled to make an impact at Liverpool since his 2022 transfer from Benfica. The deal was worth 85 million euros, but he’s not lived up to expectations. Now, Milan thinks he could thrive in Italy. They believe he can make a difference alongside Giménez.
The price tag for Núñez? Between 40 and 45 million euros. His salary is high, but Milan thinks it’s manageable. They point to other top strikers like Osimhen and Vlahovic. Núñez earns 4.7 million euros per season, a number Milan is willing to pay for the right player.
What’s next for Núñez?
The Uruguayan striker has a big decision to make. Will he stay in England or try his luck in Italy? Milan is ready to make a move, but Napoli is still in the running. One thing is sure: Núñez needs a change of scenery. His career depends on it.
