AC Milan will be left feeling a sense of regret that they did not take a chance on Darwin Nunez, because now it is simply too late.
Darwin Nunez is having a special season and during the Champions League quarter-final exit to Liverpool he did not miss the opportunity to prove once again to the whole world that he is one of the best young strikers in European football.
He scored at Anfield having netted in the first leg, and in addition to that he showed that he can be a real handful with his hold-up play, his movement and his physicality too, which understandably now has top clubs like Liverpool interested given he is on 32 goals for the current campaign.
Calciomercato.com report how the 22-year-old now belongs in the category of Dusan Vlahovic and Erling Haaland as a centre-forward with a guaranteed future in the new generation of top-level strikers.
He is expected to move on this summer but unfortunately for clubs in Serie A – like Inter, Milan and Juventus who previously wanted him – his asking price is too high. Inter even went so far as to secure a verbal agreement for €25m but the deal was blocked for budgetary reasons. Today, he is worth at least triple and it is unlikely that any Italian club can afford him.
Even at 70m he has resale value, he had 2 goals ruled out for marginal offside last night too, he looks the real deal. Anyone that sign’s him is getting at least 20 goals a season minimum and it’s the kind of signing that would have got us the scudetto this season and made us a team to be feared. Shame we can’t pull the trigger on players like this at the moment
That’s what happens when you are blinking cheap don’t want to spend.
But we can pull the trigger on younger talents like Agustin Alvarez his compatriot that plies his trade with Penarol. He is available for €7m – €10m.
If the €100m warchest Milan has available for this summer transfer window is strategically spent, we can become one of the most admired team in the world.
Let’s be real, we never had a shot at getting him. He would have been at least 30m, likely 40m starting price. Elliot is not going to pay that much. Maybe Inter even tho they’re in more debt than us
Last season are the best chance to sign Darwin, since his price only 25-30m euro cash . But of course AC Milan don’t want invest that much for him and choose free transfer striker. It is already too late for next summer,Darwin price already 75m euro
