Although the transfer market is closed, it is common for sports management to be in constant motion to find the best transfers. In the case of Atlético de Madrid, everything points to a summer full of movements, with the expectation of improving the squad. Barring surprises, almost all lines will undergo significant changes with the goal of closing the gap with their rivals both in Spain and Europe.
Additionally, it is becoming common for many teams to seek exits for some of their key players when they are no longer performing at the desired level. This is happening at Liverpool, where they seem to have lost patience with the most expensive signing in their history. In recent days, several teams have shown interest in fishing at Anfield, taking advantage of a market opportunity to strengthen their attack.
Liverpool Looks for a Destination
Obviously, it is no surprise to know that the English club would be looking for a solution for Darwin Núñez, who has been going through a rough patch. The forward has played 38 matches, mostly coming off the bench, having been on the field for less than 2,000 minutes. Despite having a market value of 65 million euros, he has only managed to score seven goals and provide six assists across all competitions.
He was decisive in the narrow victory against PSG in Paris, but it seems that Liverpool is determined to let him go in the summer market. The Uruguayan would be on the agenda of major clubs like Barça or PSG itself, although others have also included Atlético de Madrid in the race. He was already a former target of the red-and-white team when he was excelling at Benfica, but it was impossible to compete with the money of the Premier League.
Simeone Has Other Priorities
Darwin Núñez is only 25 years old, which allows him room for improvement that could place him among the best forwards in the world again. However, although he will have no trouble landing at another major club, at the Metropolitano they have other names marked as priorities. In the case of the forward line, the favorite remains Gyökeres, who will also change scenery this summer after reaching an agreement with Sporting de Portugal.
Several media outlets have reported that there would be a deal to let the Swede go for an amount close to 75 million euros. A year ago, 100M was demanded for the forward, a significant reduction in his asking price that will attract the attention of several interested parties. The colchoneros are very alert to his situation, although they will need to have alternatives in case the player decides to go elsewhere.
