The last few days in European soccer have been intense, especially when it comes to resolving the future of some players ahead of the summer. At Atlético de Madrid, they are very clear that they will not make any effort for footballers who will not provide the squad with a considerable quality boost. However, it is normal for agents to offer several of their clients to different clubs to try to agree on a good transfer.
That is what is happening right now with a forward who seems to have exhausted his cycle at a Premier League team. All reports indicate that he will seek a new destination once the next transfer window opens, something that doesn't surprise many. The colchonero team and FC Barcelona have been identified as two of the potential interested parties in acquiring his services this year.
A New Teammate for Julián Alvarez
Everything points to it being a very busy summer again at Atlético de Madrid with many tasks to carry out for the summer market. The forward position is not the priority, but Simeone's desire would be to acquire a striker who provides more effectiveness in front of goal and increases internal competitiveness. In recent hours, the situation of Darwin Núñez at Liverpool has worsened, especially after the latest criticisms from Arne Slot.
The Uruguayan international is going through a tough time at Anfield and is unable to find his best form, receiving a barrage of criticism. Several journalists have already reported that everything points to him leaving this summer and they point to the Metropolitano as one of the potential destinations. It should be remembered that there was already interest in the footballer when he was still playing for Benfica, a team that would sell him to the English club.
Interest from FC Barcelona
However, the rojiblancos are not the only ones who have been placed in the race for Darwin Núñez, as Barça would also have entered the bidding. Several media outlets in Catalonia indicate that Deco would see the Uruguayan as a potential replacement for Lewandowski, who needs a high-level substitute. It would be a good market opportunity, as Liverpool would not put many obstacles to getting rid of a player who has never reached the expected level.
Additionally, from Anfield they would already be monitoring different options to strengthen their attack, making some departures necessary in that area of the field. The reality is that the Uruguayan would be delighted to join any of the teams, but the colchonero team doesn't seem to be willing. They have other priorities in their squad for the next market and are not willing to make any unnecessary expenditure.
