In a surprising turn of events, Darwin Nunez, the forward who has emerged as a transfer target, has been spotted in Barcelona, fueling speculation about a potential move to the Spanish giants. It was revealed that Barcelona is considering Nunez as a shock candidate for a summer transfer, and the player has further added to the rumors by deleting all pictures of himself playing for Liverpool from his Instagram page.

Nunez’s presence in Barcelona is notable as he has linked up with his fellow Uruguayan teammate Ronald Araujo, who currently plays for Barca. Araujo shared a selfie of himself and Nunez on Instagram, referring to him as “Mi Hermano,” meaning “My Brother.” The two players have previously played together 17 times for Uruguay at both youth and senior levels.

Barcelona is reportedly interested in signing Nunez as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski if the Polish striker leaves the club. Additionally, it is believed that Liverpool would be open to selling Nunez to bolster incoming manager Arne Slot’s transfer budget. Despite facing criticism from rival fans, Nunez has had a productive season, scoring 18 goals and providing 13 assists across all competitions. Only Mohamed Salah has scored more goals for Liverpool this season than Nunez. It’s worth noting that Nunez still has four years remaining on his contract with Liverpool, having joined the club from Benfica in 2022.
