Givemesport’s Ben Jacobs reports that Atletico Madrid is eyeing Liverpool striker Nunez, while Saudi clubs have also shown interest in the striker.
Sources close to the situation say Nunez is likely to leave Liverpool this summer. Atletico Madrid, with key player Griezmann likely to leave shortly, have begun to prepare for the summer, and their primary goal is to bring in a new striker of outstanding quality. At present, Atletico is actively looking for a No. 9 player who can take on the responsibility of attack. Nunez has become the ideal choice in Atletico’s mind with his excellent physical quality and offensive strength.
It is worth noting that LA FC have been pursuing Griezmann since last year, and the 33-year-old French forward is nearing the end of his contract, with Atletico Madrid also interested in letting him leave this summer to start a new career.
It is reported that Atletico Madrid initially intends to offer Nunez a loan contract with a buyout clause, the buyout amount is expected to be between 35 million and 40 million euros. But up to now, Atletico has not yet made substantial contact and negotiation with Liverpool on the transfer of Nunez.
In addition, Saudi Arabia team Riyadh Victory has already successfully signed Duran, which makes their attitude on the acquisition of Nunez somewhat nuanced, whether they will join the competition for Nunez is still very much in doubt. If Ronaldo decides to extend his contract with Riyadh Victory, the team’s focus in the transfer market will shift to finding a good winger, rather than continuing to pursue a player in the central position.
