Darwin Nunez is set to leave Liverpool this summer.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed earlier this week that the Uruguayan is heading towards the exit door amid interest from Saudi Arabia and Italy.

AC Milan will look to improve their squad this summer after enduring a difficult 2024/25 season.

The Rossoneri started the season strongly by winning the Italian Super Cup, but finished the season in 8th place, failing to qualify for European football for the first time in 2016.

They will look to be busy in this summer transfer market to pick themselves up so they don’t have another disappointing campaign.

A stark contrast to the season in 2021/22 when they won the league for the 19th time.

The situation is clear; they need attacking reinforcements.

Players who can win the game or put the ball in the net when times are tough.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, they are after a striker who is similar to their current talisman Santiago Gimenez and Darwin Nunez is a name frequently mentioned.

The Uruguayan ‘fascinates’ the club, despite coming off another frustrating season at Liverpool.

The Serie A club’s list also consists of Dusan Vlahovic of Juventus, and Mateo Retegui of Atalanta.

Managing just seven goals in just over 2,000 minutes this season, Nunez is no longer in Arne Slot’s plans at Anfield and he will look to move the player on.

It is noted in the report that the fee that Liverpool will also demand for Darwin Nunez is ‘decidedly’ high as they look to recoup some of the money they originally spent on Nunez three years ago which was a club-record fee for the club at the time as the striker arrived in a deal worth up to £85million.

Darwin Nunez arrived on a big fee with a lot of excitement attached to it, but his time in England has been filled with frustration and complacency, and it is a story that many would’ve hoped had been written differently.

AC Milan are yet to make an offer for Nunez, but he is someone they are considering, as well as Napoli and clubs from the Saudi Pro League.
