Barcelona Eyes Darwin Nunez as Alvarez Replacement

Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" has revealed that Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez has returned to Barcelona's radar during the summer transfer window, amid ongoing complications in securing a deal for Argentine Julian Alvarez.

According to the report, Barcelona's management sees Nunez as a less expensive option compared to some names being discussed in the transfer market. They may move to sign him if negotiations for Julian Alvarez fail or if Spanish forward Ferran Torres departs this summer.

Reports indicate that Darwin Núñez's continuation in the Saudi league has become complicated, following his exclusion from the foreign players list after the arrival of French star Karim Benzema. The player has not participated in any official match since February 16, which increases the likelihood of his departure during the current transfer window.

Mundo Deportivo has confirmed that Barcelona has not made any official offer yet, but the club's management continues to closely monitor the player's situation, with the possibility of him becoming a real target if other options in the forward position falter in the coming weeks.

Barcelona continues to hold onto the dream of signing Julian Alvarez, the star of Atletico Madrid, despite the fact that the Rojiblancos have no intention of letting him go this summer.
