Moretto: Milan ‘asked for information’ on Liverpool striker


Matteo Moretto has confirmed that AC Milan are interested in signing Darwin Nunez, but because of the costs involved it remains almost impossible.

As was confirmed in his recent press conference behind closed doors, Igli Tare’s aim as the new sporting director is to give his chosen head coach Massimiliano Allegri a high-level centre-forward to complete the attacking department.

Many names have been linked, Dusan vlahovic and mateo retegui above all, but Nunez is a name that will not go away. The Uruguayan is expected to leave Anfield this summer having fallen down the pecking order, but – given the €80m+ Liverpool paid for him – it will not be a cheap deal.

Nunez: Between Napoli and Milan

As Moretto has explained on his colleague Fabrizio Romano’s YouTube channel (via MilanNews), the Rossoneri str very much on the sidelines compared to Napoli, given Liverpool’s high demands for Nunez.

“I told you exclusively how Milan was one of the clubs that asked for information on Darwin Nunez, in addition to Napoli who are clearly ahead. But De Laurentiis’ club has not yet found the basis for an agreement with Liverpool,” he said.

“The two clubs are discussing but to date there are no steps forward in this direction. Always keep an eye on the name of Lorenzo Lucca for Napoli. For Milan, despite a high level of approval for Nunez, in terms of costs it is an almost impracticable path, difficult to reach.”
