Darwin Nunez has been linked with a return to the Premier League in recent months, and he is a target for several high-profile clubs.
Darwin Nunez has fallen out of favour at Al-Hilal, and he is a target for clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle United. However, the Premier League bigwigs face stiff competition from AC Milan for his signature.
According to a report by Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, AC Milan are hoping to win the race for his signature. It will be interesting to see if they can beat the Premier League clubs and sign the 26-year-old striker.
Darwin Nunez has shown his quality in Europe with Benfica and Liverpool. There is no doubt that he is good enough to play for Milan. The opportunity to join the Rossoneri will be exciting for him. The South American attacker has the physicality and technical attributes for Italian football, and he is versatile enough to operate in multiple roles.
Nunez can operate both centrally and on the flanks. He will help create opportunities for his teammates and find the back of the net. AC Milan needs more depth in the attacking unit, and signing the 26-year-old would be ideal. The former Liverpool striker will be hungry to prove himself at the highest level, and his desire to succeed will be an added bonus.
The player will not want to sit on the bench at the Saudi Arabian club, and moving back to Europe would be ideal. AC Milan is among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be quite tempting.
Chelsea and Newcastle United keen on Nunez
Meanwhile, Chelsea are interested in the player as well. The Blues signed a couple of strikers last summer, but Liam Delap has not been able to live up to the expectations. They need to find a replacement for the 22-year-old, and it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to move for the former Liverpool attacker.
Nunez has shown his quality in the Premier League, and he helped Liverpool win the league title last season. He could make an immediate impact at Chelsea. As for Newcastle United, Nick Woltemade is facing an uncertain future. It will be interesting to see if the Magpies decide to replace him with Nunez.
