In a surprise turn of events, Barcelona is reportedly considering a move for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, just four years after failing to sign him, according to Metro. The Uruguayan international has established himself as a key player for the Reds, but it seems that Barcelona is willing to test Liverpool's resolve with a potential bid.
Nunez's impressive form and goal-scoring record have made him an attractive option for Barcelona, who are facing a significant overhaul of their squad this summer. With Robert Lewandowski's future at the club uncertain, Barcelona is on the lookout for a long-term replacement, and Nunez fits the bill.
Despite signing a six-year contract with Liverpool in 2022, Nunez's relatively modest wages of £7 million per year make him an affordable target for Barcelona, who are working with a reduced salary cap. While Liverpool is in a strong negotiating position, the appeal of playing for Barcelona is reportedly a significant draw for Nunez, making this a transfer to watch in the coming months.
If successful, the move would be a major coup for Barcelona, who have been tracking Nunez since his days at Benfica. It would also mark a significant shift in their transfer strategy, as they look to build a new generation of talent at the club.
