Darwin Nunez Emerges as Low-Cost Forward Option for Barcelona
According to Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona has identified Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez as a backup target for their forward line. Nunez, currently under contract with Saudi club Al Hilal, believes he can serve as a 'low-cost' alternative due to his potentially affordable transfer fee. The player has expressed willingness and desire to join Barcelona. Nunez's situation at Al Hilal is precarious; he has been excluded from the Saudi league roster since January due to foreign player quota restrictions, making room for Karim Benzema, and has not played an official match since February 16. Barcelona's primary target, Julian Alvarez, remains complicated after Atletico Madrid refused to let him go. Additionally, Ferran Torres' future at Barcelona is uncertain with Paris Saint-Germain showing interest. Nunez has joined Al Hilal's preseason training in Austria but awaits clarity on his future, whether in Saudi Arabia or Europe.
