Man Utd and Arsenal suffer striker transfer blow

09 April 2022 - 20:11

Manchester United and Arsenal could miss out on signing Benfica striker Darwin Nunez during this summer's transfer window.

  • Arsenal to swap Gabriel Jesus for Inter Milan star?
  • Arsenal leading race to sign Belgian midfielder



  • The Uruguayan has been in stunning form for the Portuguese giants this campaign, bagging 28 goals from 35 outings.

    Ahead of the summer, he has been touted for a big-club move. United and Arsenal have been linked with him in recent weeks.

    Benfica are likely to demand €100m for his services, but Record claims that Nunez may not be tempted to join the Premier League duo.

    Manchester City are said to be a preferred destination for him. However, the Cityzens are prioritising a move for Erling Braut Haaland.

    Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid have also been keeping tabs on Nunez, and they could have a better chance of signing him this summer.

    Compared to Arsenal and United, Atletico are in a better position to qualify for the Champions League via a top-four La Liga finish.

    Nunez has also been linked with Liverpool in the past, but they are not planning to make any marquee forward signings this summer.
