AC Milan Ready €60m Move for Darwin Nunez as Liverpool Set to Cut Ties with Struggling Forward

The Serie A club AC Milan has become the leading candidate to sign Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez because the Reds plan to release him this summer.

The Reds believe Nunez has been inconsistent since his expensive transfer, and AC Milan declared their willingness to pay €60 million for his services, as reported by Fichajes.

The club acquired Nunez with great excitement after he achieved stunning success at Benfica before becoming their record-breaking transfer.

The striker faces high demands but has failed to meet his pre-established reputation since joining. In his 18 Premier League matches during this campaign Nunez has scored only four times.

Nunez has scored and assisted a total of 0.66 goals or assists during each of his 90 minutes played in matches this season. Statistical analysis indicates that his conversion rate (0.46 xG) demonstrates an unstable ability to score in front of the goal.

Darwin Nunez Is Not Having A Great Season

Nunez demonstrates lower attacking statistics both in defence and while transitioning from defence to offence. The Liverpool forward averages 16.20 passing attempts per game using 70.14% accuracy while his key pass creation reaches 0.67 for an anticipated assist output of 0.19 per 90 minutes.

Nunez shows sufficient qualities to remain an attractive option despite indications of performance opportunity in his statistics.

The Uruguayan footballer gains control over opponents with his excessive speed while using powerful defensive attributes and continuous attack pressure.

Nunez uses his instinct to break free from the offence and converts dangerous chances from tight spaces into sensational goals.

His strengths of speed and strength combined with dynamic movements constitute valuable qualities which could bring benefits to his career at AC Milan independent of his inconsistent Liverpool performances.

The attack of AC Milan depends on Rafael Leao’s future as the club identifies Nunez as an affordable and transforming purchase option. The Italian club seems willing to invest €60 million to acquire Nunez knowing that he could bring back his top form if he receives conducive conditions on the pitch.
