According to Gazzetta dello Sport via SportWitness, AC Milan are looking to sign a world-class number nine and they have been offered the chance to sign Liverpool misfit Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan international is ready to move to Milan, as a result, it will be interesting to see how things move forward.
Nunez made a name for himself at Benfica. On the back of his sensational rise, Liverpool broke the bank to sign the 25-year-old in the summer of 2022. While he has done a decent job, the South American star hasn’t lived up to the lofty expectations.
He was a regular feature in the XI under Jurgen Klopp but the arrival of Arne Slot has seen his game time go down. The Dutch manager is not a big fan of the Uruguayan striker and is willing to sanction his departure despite him having three years left on his deal.
Slot is keen on bringing in a world-class forward and Nunez’s departure could help fund that move. Apart from clubs in the Middle East, Italian clubs are also keen on his signature.
Napoli have already been linked with the 25-year-old and the report suggests AC Milan could end up being his next destination. The Italian giants added Santiago Gimenez to their squad in the last window. They are now looking to add another high-profile forward.
Milan wants a new number nine who can guarantee a goal and they have been offered the chance to sign the Liverpool misfit. While there is nothing concrete at this stage, one thing is certain the Reds will only be able to recoup a part of what they had invested to sign him if the Serie A giants end up signing him.
He is currently earning around €4.7 million salary after tax. While it is certainly on the higher side for Milan, they can still manage to offer him something similar. With Milan dreaming of a new number nine and the Liverpool star ready to make the move, it will all depend on Liverpool’s demands for the 25-year-old.
