Benfica forward Darwin Nunez has supposedly overtaken Memphis Depay as the attacker Barcelona desire to sign next year.
Barcelona are supposedly weighing up a move for Benfica forward Darwin Nunez next year after cooling their interest in Lyon‘s Memphis Depay.
The Catalan giants were not able to strike a deal with Lyon in the summer after concurring individual terms with the Netherlands international.
Barca boss Ronald Koeman is promoting Barca to make a fresh approach in January, however reports from Spain recommend the Dutchman is not likely to be backed.
Rather, it is claimed that the La Liga side are taking a look at alternative choices, with Nunez among those being thought about.
The two-cap Uruguay international invested last season on loan with Almeria in the Spanish second division and is now playing regularly for Benfica.
The report shows that Barca are especially impressed by the youngster’s maturity and are lured to try of around EUR40m (₤ 36.10 m) in 2021.
