Al Hilal

One club where Darwin Nunez could play his football next season is Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.

The Saudi club are on the lookout for a big-name g after Neymar returned to Brazil following an injury-plagued stint at the club.

There were reports in January that Liverpool had rejected a £70m bid from Al Hilal for Nunez.

Should Liverpool decide to part ways with Nunez this summer, it would be no surprise to see Al Hilal or another top Saudi Pro League side make a move for the 25-year-old.

AC Milan

Darwin Nunez also has suitors in Italy with AC Milan reportedly interested in the Liverpool striker.

As per Goal, there had been speculation in January that AC Milan had submitted a loan offer for Nunez with an obligation to buy him for £41.5m in the summer.

AC Milan manager Sergio Conceicao is a fan of Nunez and the Uruguayan would likely be a regular starter for the Rossoneri.

The Serie A side did sign a striker in January in the form of Santiago Gimenez from Arne Slot’s former side Feyenoord.

Though Nunez would add to their attacking options and AC Milan look set to lose Tammy Abraham who is in the last year of his contract.

Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid is another club where Darwin Nunez could revitalise his career next season.

The Spanish side are reportedly monitoring Nunez’s movements at Liverpool and whether he could leave Anfield.

They see him as a potential replacement for Antoine Griezmann whose future at the LaLiga side is uncertain.

Nunez’s pace and physicality would suit Diego Simeone’s blueprint for his team.

Newcastle

While a move to another Premier League club looks unlikely, Liverpool might be willing to offload him to Newcastle.

Liverpool and Arsenal are targeting a summer move for the Magpies’ star striker Alexander Isak this summer.

However, the Swedish striker could cost as much as £150m – making a move tough for the prolific Premier League goalscorer.

There have been reports that Liverpool could look to use Nunez as a bargaining chip to sign Isak.

Newcastle though will be doing all they can to persuade Isak to stay at St James’ Park this summer and they would be bottom of this list in of likelihood in g Nunez.

Napoli

Napoli are the fifth club on this list where Darwin Nunez could play his football next season.

Fichajes reported in January that Napoli and manager Antonio Conte are irers of Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez.

Napoli already have Romelu Lukaku to their disposal with Victor Osimhen expected to leave after his current loan spell in Turkey.

Nunez’s physical power and speed would be an ideal profile for the Serie A squad and offer a different level of threat to Lukaku.

Napoli will be keen to attract a big g given the departure of Khvicha Kvarataskhelia and the expected exit of Osimhen.
