Romano explained, Manchester United have discussed the name Darwin Nunez as a target next summer. However, the Red Devils still need to finalize a strategy in the transfer market while waiting for who will become the permanent coach.

In addition, Arsenal and West Ham United have already hunted Nunez. Both clubs made offers in the middle of this season. However, at that time Benfica had no intention of selling Nunez.

Before he was brilliant with Benfica, Darwin Nunez strengthened the Spanish club, UD Almeria. Almeria is the team that brought Nunez from Penarol in 2019. Currently, Nunez is still under contract until 2025.
