Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint Germain are believed to be leading the way for Benfica star Darwin Nunez ahead of a potential €70m summer move for the Uruguayan.
Núñez has shot to stardom this season, scoring 31 goals in 36 games for Benfica, while also scoring his only goal in the first leg of the Champions League final against Liverpool.

And while West Ham were unsuccessful in their search for the striker on the day of the January transfer deadline, that ship may have sailed for the Hammers as the bigger clubs are now circling.
Arsenal are another team chasing the striker, but it is Manchester United and Chelsea who lead the race out of Premier League clubs, while Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint Germain represent the interest more widely across the country. Europe.
The Red Devils will be at a huge disadvantage, given that it is currently incredibly unlikely that they will be able to offer Champions League football next campaign. But perhaps the real surprise interest is from Chelsea.
Blues ready to cut ties with failed strikers
Stamford Bridge has too often been a graveyard for high-profile strikers in recent years, and the fate of their most recent partner seems to be headed in that direction too.
Timo Werner has been flattered for cheating since moving from RB Leipzig to Chelsea in the summer of 2020, and although he scored against Southampton, he doesn’t seem to have the confidence of Thomas Tuchel.
Perhaps most worryingly, neither does record signing Romelu Lukaku, who recently withdrew from the team and was guilty of missing a couple of brilliant chances in the Champions League quarter-final first leg loss to Real Madrid. .
If Chelsea add Darwin Nunez to their ranks, and with Kai Havertz continuing to rise to the No.9 spot, both players are sure to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer.
