CM: Why Darwin Nunez is the perfect striker for Milan – Maldini is interested

By Isak Möller -

AC Milan are looking for a striker to sign this summer and Divock Origi has been linked quite a lot with them. There are a few more names floating about, though, and Darwin Nunez is one of them. 

Nunez, who currently plays for Benfica, has scored 34 goals in all competitions this season and that is indeed very impressive. In a piece published last night, Calciomercato.com explained why he would be the perfect signing for Milan.

In fact, there are a few factors that make him perfect for Stefano Pioli’s system at Milan: his power in counter-attacks, ability to play at speed, desire to press the opponents, ability to score also with his head and his runs in-behind make him a great No.9.

Above all, though, he knows how to find the back of the net when presented with an opportunity in front of goal. The price tag, especially after this season, is hefty. Benfica will ask for at least €70m and there are many other clubs in the running, but Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are at least interested in Nunez.

  1. not worth 70 anyway. Max to max 35/40. Nothing more.

    won’t be gutted if we don’t get him. to be completely honest if Sassuolo is ready to give Scammacca for 25/30, I’ll take him over nunez for 70 or even 60.

    1. Go support Barcelona ……. Fanatic fan. You would never be miss. Núñez in Milan will be compared to Marco Van Vasten. To win the Champions we need both or 2. And I would also buy his partner at Benfica C Gomes to play as a ACM for around 20 to 25 millions this year cause next will go up at least DD value.

      1. he isn’t worth 70. if you think spendin 70 is right i think you should support barca because taking milan again to be broke isn’t what i like which u do. fucking stupid milanisti. he isn’t. worth 70. he scores goals in portuguese league and plays with 2 strikers which pioli never will.

        this isn’t fifa. grow up

        1. Scammacca isn’t worth 20M. He scored 31 goals in the last 3 SEASONS. 93 games, 31 goals and don’t forget he played in Serie B for one season. I think Milan doesn’t need him even if he was free. You either go for a top striker like Nunez or Giroud is good as well, Scammacca isn’t any better than him and he is 12 years younger.

          1. Agree i am saying i would like nunez. to come. but to pay 70 when we are already buying sanches for 20 and botman for 35 we have 45 left. we have to buy a striker a rw and a cam with that money and don’t forget backup to theo also.

            stop daydreaming

      2. lol stupid milanisti again spotted.
        you should support barca. they like people who get the club broke by overpaying for players.

          1. Agree i am saying i would like nunez. to come. but to pay 70 when we are already buying sanches for 20 and botman for 35 we have 45 left. we have to buy a striker a rw and a cam with that money and don’t forget backup to theo also.

            stop daydreaming

    2. Is this a joke? Darwin 40m euro ? If Darwin are 40m euro than scamacca just 10m euro. Darwin all round striker can play on fast game or press enemy like rebic /Ibra did often,he is successor Cavani in national team, have experience on CL . And you compare him with scamacca ? That was an insult,scamacca only average player that play on mid table club’ that never play on CL. Scamacca just same level with Kean,belotti,Joao Pedro. While Darwin on same level with Haaland,Dusan vlahovic

      1. he isn’t worth 70 either. i have no interest like you stupid milanistis to. take milan back to being broke.

        and nunez is not even half of what haaland is lol.

        he is used to play with 2 strikers which pioli never will play
        this is not fifa. grow up recca

        1. In 2 years he will be worth over 100M, you can already see it. Scammacca will never be worth even 50M. Remember what I said.

        2. Darwin have many suitor from EPL and rich club’ . Scamacca ? Who want to buy him outside Italian club’? Sassoulo demanded 40m euro for that average player. Do you watch Benfica vs Liverpool match? Even Klopp admit Darwin are deadly striker. While scamacca cannot even take imobile on national team. This is madness if you compare Darwin with scamacca. Go read the article above about Darwin ability and strength. I prefer renew Ibra than buy scamacca overprice. If Ibra out better find good replacement like Darwin or alternative Jonathan David ( prefer Darwin priority). New owner always want to introduce themself with buying good player, thats why i think AC Milan not imposible to buy Darwin or nkunku ( only one that Will come not both)

          1. hopefully nkunku comes. i don’t want scammaca but neither nunez especially not for 70. we need someone who plays as a single striker

    3. With all respect for you and Scamacca (one m), are you the agent or her girlfriend?.

      Milan hast a History in Europe and recently, money enough

  2. I like Nunez a lot, he could have had 3 against Liverpool if not for marginal offsides and he has not looked out of place in the champions league, he is still very young and I don’t see his value dropping so he has that resale value, don’t think we will have the money for him sadly.

  3. Nunez would be ideal….we will see if the new owners will spend 80-100M on him – as that’s likely what it will take as Man U and others want him.

  4. He wont be going to united thats for sure. Maybe atletico or arsenal. We can’t compete with the wage demand eventhough we can buy him. Halland or mbappe makes more sence 😜

  5. Agree i am saying i would like nunez. to come. but to pay 70 when we are already buying sanches for 20 and botman for 35 we have 45 left. we have to buy a striker a rw and a cam with that money and don’t forget backup to theo also. is your father paying extra 30m or what stupid.

    and. if you believe in that 300M bullcrap then you don’t have to reply back ik you are stupid.

    stop daydreaming

    1. Every new owner in their first season always bomb transfer market to introduce their name to fans . Berlusconi did it too in his first season ,then come Yong Hong Li spend 220m euro in his first season for 11 player, last elliot in their first season recruit Higuain,caldara,paqueta,piatek,castilejo total cost almost 150m euro . They Will brake transfer budget in 2nd season etc. Botman only 30m euro,Renato still not sure to join due to high salary demand. So just botman 30m euro . They can still sign RW,AMF,striker ( if Ibra out) . I don’t see imposible for new owner buy one expensive player like nkunku or Darwin because their salary are still under 8m euro nett/ years
