Reports indicate that Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez, star of Liverpool, has caught the attention of Argentine club River Plate, aiming to strengthen its squad before the start of the Club World Cup, which will take place in the United States from June 15 to July 13, 2025.

Nunez, who recently won the English Premier League title with Liverpool, has seen a decline in his role under coach Arne Slot, opening the door for the possibility of his departure this summer. According to the Spanish newspaper "AS," Nunez's name has been proposed as a strong attacking option by the Argentine team's coach, who sees him as the ideal striker to lead the attack in the tournament.

Although the player's high salary poses a barrier to completing the deal, Nunez's desire to play regularly might tilt the scales in favor of River Plate, especially with his participation in a major global tournament like the Club World Cup.

River Plate will compete in the group stage against Inter Milan, Monterrey from Mexico, and Urawa from Japan, with the Italian team being the biggest challenge for the Argentine team at this stage.
