Darwin Núñez’s scoring eruption at Benfica makes him one of the great claims of the next summer transfer market. The 22-year-old has scored 34 goals this season and has provided four assists in 41 games (2,821 minutes). A performance that, together with his potential and youth, has not only made several European teams show interest in the striker, but also the Uruguayan sets a requirement: play in the Champions League, according to RMC Sports.
This request from the footballer distances him from Manchester United and Newcastle, although he still has a long list of suitors: Arsenal (on the last day their presence in the European competition will be decided), Liverpool, Manchester City, Atlético de Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich. But PSG, as AS pointed out, is the club that seems best positioned to sign the still Benfica player.
In fact, according to Olocip, The Parisian team is the club in which the former Almería player can exploit his goalscoring virtues the most. If Darwin Núñez played 80% of the minutes he would score 15.2 goals and would exceed the 14.5 he would score at City and the estimated 14.4 at Bayern. These data are influenced by the fact that Ligue 1 and the Premier have four more games than the Bundesliga.
The striker, who has a clause of 150 million euros, has a contract with Benfica until 2025, and has already played other games with the Uruguayan team in which he has scored two goals. In the Champions League, his requirement, this season he has scored six goals in 610 minutes he has played.
