Atlético de Madrid has been linked in recent days with the signing of Darwin Núñez, a forward from Liverpool. However, Miguel Ángel Gil Marín has been adamant about it: the Uruguayan is not in the plans of the sports management. In an interview with the Uruguayan portal Fútbol, collected by Mundo Deportivo, he spoke about this topic.
Gil Marín Denies Interest in Darwin Núñez
From England, rumors have emerged about the possible departure of Darwin Núñez from Liverpool at the end of the season. The 25-year-old forward has not had the expected prominence, and his future at Anfield is hanging in the air.
"Núñez is not in our recruitment plans for what's coming. The information about our interest in the footballer is false," stated the red-and-white executive. With these statements, Gil Marín closes any speculation about the arrival of the Uruguayan forward, who was already on Atlético's radar when he played for Benfica.
Atlético de Madrid Is Not Looking for Forwards
Beyond Darwin Núñez, in recent months there has been speculation about other renowned forwards like Viktor Gyökeres and Dušan Vlahović. However, Gil Marín has made it clear that strengthening the forward line is not a priority for the club in the upcoming transfer market.
"While we are not looking for a forward, we are focused on strengthening other positions in the team," assured the Atlético executive. With players like Julián Alvarez and Antoine Griezmann in the squad, Atlético seems to have the attack covered, focusing on strengthening other positions for the next season.
Atlético's Moment and the Role of Cholo Simeone
Beyond the transfer market, Gil Marín also appreciated the good moment Atlético de Madrid is experiencing. Although he is excited about the team's performance, he remains cautious and prefers to take it step by step.
"It can't be more exciting, it's a pleasure to watch the team play, how they compete, with such humility, solidarity, and efficiency. I'm sure all our fans are proud to see their team compete. However, we must be aware that soccer is today, neither yesterday nor tomorrow. Our philosophy is to think about the next match," he explained.
