Darwin Nunez of Benfica could be on the move in the summer transfer window. The striker was key in the Portuguese club beating Ajax in their Round of 16 encounter and moving on to the quarter finals.
According to Fabrizio Romano, West Ham United tried to sign the player on deadline day in the January transfer window. However, they had a €48 million bid turned down, with the player staying on for the remainder of the season.
Summer transfer for Darwin Nunez likely
The Uruguayan could attract another improved bid from West Ham United and other clubs in the summer. The chances of him leaving the club will be higher at the end of the season, with several key offers on the table.
Darwin Nunez has scored four goals in the Champions League this season. His double against Barcelona helped them win 3-0 in the group stages, and ultimately knocked the Spanish giants out in the group stages. As a result, he is showing early signs that he can deliver in the big games when his team needs him.
Across all competitions, the 22-year-old has scored 26 goals in 33 appearances and has also provided a couple of assists. The youngster has earned eight caps for the Uruguayan national team, and has also scored a couple of goals for them.
He is among the most valuable players in the Portuguese league, and any clubs willing to sign him will have to come up with a great offer for Benfica to be forced to sell him.
