Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez finished the European season as Benfica’s top scorer as well as for the Portuguese League. The prominence of the 22-year-old makes him cited as a potential booster for many clubs. In recent weeks, British newspapers reported that the player would have rejected Manchester United and Newcastle with the intention of playing in the Champions League. French radio station RMC confirmed Thursday (19) that Darwin is awaiting a response from Paris Saint-Germain.
Knowing that his future is unlikely to be at Benfica, Darwin Nunez has already authorized his representatives to look for another club for next season. However, the striker had given explicit orders that the proposal to be accepted must be from a club that will compete in the next edition of the Champions League. So far, the concrete proposals that have arrived are from clubs that have not qualified for the continental dispute.

In this regard, representatives of Darwin Nunez contacted Paris Saint-Germain, the current champions of France, but he has not yet returned with a concrete proposal. The intention of the French is to keep Kylian Mbappé in the team, and if the player remains, the investment in Darwin Núñez becomes unworkable. The expectation is that the PSG board will not close the siege on Uruguay until it is certain of Mbappe.
Something similar happened at Bayern Munich, where another club was touted as a possible destination for Darwin. Also guaranteed in the next edition of the Champions League, the German club lives, like Paris Saint-Germain, from the lack of identification of its main striker. Robert Lewandowski is getting closer and closer to leaving the club and could make a deal with Barcelona. As long as the issue is not resolved, Bayern must not move to another player.
Officially, the only offer that reached the representatives of the Uruguayan striker came from Manchester United. The English were willing to pay around €80m for the Benfica striker, but the fact that he is outside the Champions League hampered the deal. With a new project for next season, Darwin would have even had guarantees that he would be important in coach Eric ten Hag’s squad.
