Former Liverpool star emerges as a shock target for Barcelona – report

It is no secret that Barcelona are currently on the lookout for a new striker, as they look to find a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski.

Julian Alvarez is the undisputed top choice for the Blaugrana, but negotiations with Atletico Madrid have proven to be difficult. That is why the club have been linked with moves for other strikers across Europe as well.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Darwin Nunez has now emerged as a potential option for Barcelona in their hunt for a number nine.

The report suggests Nunez’s name came into the fray during the talks with Al Hilal over Joao Cancelo. It has not been specified whether Barça wanted to talk about Nunez or if the former Liverpool player was offered to them.

It is clear that Barcelona are keeping track of Nunez’s awkward situation in Saudi Arabia.

With the Saudi league limiting squads to ten foreign players, Nunez was among those sacrificed, losing his league registration for the second half of the season.

Reports suggest his contract with Al Hilal has since been terminated by mutual consent, potentially making him available as a free agent.

That prospect is what makes the situation interesting for Barcelona, even if the financial implications of his wages would still need to be carefully considered alongside the club’s other planned signings.

With Alvarez remaining the priority, Nunez represents a very different profile but it is one that could be useful for the Catalans, especially if they go for a low-cost alternative.

The entire Milan squad will reportedly be locked in a training retreat from Wednesday to prepare for the decisive trip to Genoa on Sunday.

Director of sport Igli Tare had already hinted following the 3-2 home defeat to Atalanta that the club could impose a training retreat to get the team focused.

They risk throwing away Champions League qualification after sliding down from second to fourth place, on level terms with Roma, with a run of just seven points from eight rounds.

According to MilanNews, Sky Sport Italia and more, the decision has been made to put the players into a camp from Wednesday.

It comes after the Serie A Week 37 fixture list was confirmed, with Milan’s visit to Genoa kicking off at 11.30 UK time (12.30 CEST) on Sunday.

In these training retreats, the players are kept at lodgings inside the training ground, so they are not allowed to go home and see their families.

These are sometimes used as punishment for poor performances, but nominally are supposed to allow the players to focus fully on their work and create a sense of unity within the group.
