Recently, rumors swept through the football world like a storm, with AC Milan's plan to use a rental as a springboard to eventually acquire Liverpool striker Nunez becoming a hot topic of discussion for a while. However, an in-depth investigation by British media outlet Anfield Watch doused the hot speculation like cold water.
Anfield Watch have been outspoken in their report, which has been rigorously verified to confirm that the rumors of Milan taking Nunez on loan are pure fiction. The report also revealed that Milan's financial situation is not optimistic, and the high transfer fee is a gap they can't overcome. What makes Nunez's joining hopeless is that Milan's squad no longer has a place for EU players, which is undoubtedly an insurmountable threshold.
Nonetheless, Anfield Watch have not completely dismissed all possibilities. They mentioned a hypothetical that AC Milan might target Nunez again if they fail to buy out Abraham on loan from Roma in the summer transfer window. But all this assumes that Liverpool are willing to let go of the star for a lower price.
Meanwhile, Núñez's future is in limbo, with Anfield Watch revealing that Newcastle United have entered the fray and are in desperate need of a new striker, considering the rumored departure of their leading scorer Isaac. Atletico Madrid boss Simeone's high opinion of Nunez has added to the uncertainty surrounding his future.
Nunez has been in the spotlight since his move from Benfica to Liverpool in the summer of 2022 for a whopping €85 million. However, his appearances for Liverpool have been inconsistent so far this season, with only 13 starts in 24 matches, contributing 4 goals and 3 assists. This performance is not up to expectations, but also proves that he still has the strength and potential that should not be underestimated.
