Atletico Madrid has set its sights on Darwin Nuñez as the key piece to reinforce its attack in the upcoming season. The intention of the colchonero club is to form a top-level duo alongside Julián Álvarez, opting for a loan with an obligation to buy that would be around 40 million euros for Liverpool. With this strategy, the red and white team seeks to add more offensive power without compromising its budget immediately.
Despite the significant investment they made in their forward line last summer, the Madrid team seems willing to make a new ambitious move in the market. Nuñez, with a past at Almeria and a spell at Benfica that led him to Liverpool, has not been able to settle in the Premier League as expected. Although he arrived at Anfield for 85 million euros in 2022, his performance has raised doubts, and with Arne Slot's arrival on the bench, his situation has not improved.
Atletico Madrid Wants to Sign Darwin Nuñez
For a while now, the Uruguayan striker has been tempted by Saudi football, but Atletico Madrid believes it can offer him an opportunity in European elite football. The possible departure of Antoine Griezmann could also influence this move, as a forward like Nuñez would fit the club's idea of strengthening its attacking line.
Barcelona was linked with Nuñez last year, but Lewandowski's continuity ruled out that option. On the other hand, Atletico has already made a significant investment in Alexander Sorloth, but they do not rule out adding another forward to enhance the quality of their squad. If the colchoneros manage to convince Liverpool, Nuñez could become the new offensive reference for the team led by Diego Simeone.
