AC Milan will reportedly look to sign 26-year-old Uruguayan international Darwin Nunez from Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

According to a report by Sky Sport Italia, Darwin Nunez is the subject of interest from AC Milan. The Serie A giants are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a striker in the summer transfer window. So, the 26-year-old Liverpool attacker has emerged as a target for the Rossoneri.

The Italian heavyweights have “made an attempt” to sign the former SL Benfica striker. However, the “deal remains complicated” for AC Milan, even though they have approached Nunez’s entourage to discuss a possible move in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, AC Milan will face stiff competition from Al-Hilal for the Liverpool attacker’s signature.

Darwin Nunez and his situation

Darwin Nunez has endured a frustrating stint since joining Liverpool from SL Benfica in a big-money move in July 2022. While the 26-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance in the last three years and featured regularly for the Merseyside outfit in his first two seasons, he has struggled for game time under Arne Slot.

In the 2024/25 season, the Uruguayan international managed only 2,038 minutes of game time across 47 appearances in all competitions while chipping in with seven goals and seven assists. However, Nunez’s stock in the market remains high, with AC Milan among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.

Serie A adventure on the horizon?

AC Milan’s interest in Darwin Nunez is understandable. The Serie A giants are scouring the market for a striker this summer after Tammy Abraham’s loan stint ended. In addition, Santiago Gimenez has yet to hit the ground running at San Siro. Several candidates, including Rasmus Hojlund, have emerged on AC Milan’s radar, with Nunez also a viable target.

The report also mentions Arnaud Kalimuendo and Dusan Vlahovic as striker targets for the Rossoneri. Meanwhile, they have initiated discussions with Nunez’s entourage. However, the “deal remains complicated” amid AC Milan’s attempts to secure his services in the summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, despite Al-Hial’s interest, convincing Nunez to move to the Saudi Pro League may be a tall order, with recent reports claiming he wants to remain in Europe. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 26-year-old Uruguayan international.
