Darwin Nunez is famous for being one of the forwards with the ability to “turn goals into opportunities” in the Premier League. According to statistics from the official website of the league, the Uruguayan forward has missed 27 clear-cut chances, ranking second in the league and surpassing Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson.Paddy Pimblett reveals he would rather have Darwin Nunez at Liverpool than Manchester City’s Erling Haaland

In the recent match against Tottenham, Nunez continued to display his lack of luck. Even when faced with the opposing goalkeeper, Liverpool’s number 9 couldn’t find the back of the net. After the match, Nunez made a surprising move. He completely deleted any Liverpool-related posts on social media.Darwin Nunez fuels Liverpool exit speculation with social media activity

According to the English media, Barcelona is looking to recruit Darwin Nunez as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker will turn 36 in August this year. Sources from Spain indicate that Lewandowski’s salary next season will increase to 32 million euros, the second highest in Europe (only behind Mbappe). Therefore, Barcelona is hoping to part ways with the former Bayern star this summer and replace him with Darwin Nunez. Compared to Lewandowski, the Uruguayan forward has a similar physique but is younger and faster. He possesses good off-the-ball movement skills and is only slightly lacking in finishing ability.Nunez remains to be linked with a summer exit after deleting club pics from Ins | All Football

That aspect can be improved upon when he joins Barcelona. More importantly, Nunez’s salary is only around 10 million euros, much cheaper than Lewandowski’s. Salary budget has been a concern for Barcelona in recent seasons, so they want to reduce it as much as possible.

The question is, what will Barcelona offer to convince Liverpool to let go of the player? It should be noted that “The Kop” had to spend 85 million euros to acquire Nunez. This figure could increase to 100 million euros in the future depending on certain conditions.

According to sources from Spain, Barcelona is planning to offer Raphinha along with a certain amount of money to persuade Liverpool. This is the most feasible option at the moment. The representative of Raphinha has confirmed that Liverpool has shown interest in the player. Therefore, the success of this deal is quite likely.
