Barcelona interested in signing Darwin Nunez, who they previously failed to sign from Liverpool, after four years.

Reports have surfaced that Liverpool's star forward, Darwin Nunez, has caught the attention of Barcelona. Both clubs are gearing up for a major squad overhaul this summer, with Barcelona facing financial constraints after La Liga slashed their salary cap to £174million.

As a result, top-earner Robert Lewandowski is expected to be sold, despite still being considered one of the best strikers in the world at the age of 36. To fill this void, Barcelona has set their sights on Nunez, who they previously tried to sign four years ago when he played for Almeria.

Nunez, who is one of Liverpool's highest-paid players, currently earns around £7m, making him an affordable target for the Spanish giants. However, it may be unlikely for Liverpool to sell him, especially considering they only signed him two years ago for a club-record fee of up to £85m.

Despite being happy at Anfield and having a contract until 2028, rumors suggest that Nunez may be tempted by the idea of playing for Barcelona. However, with the upcoming managerial change at Liverpool, there is a possibility that Nunez may not fit into the new manager's plans, making him a potential candidate for a big sale.

Nunez's performance at Liverpool has been a topic of debate, with some praising his tenacity and physical abilities, while others criticize his missed chances which have cost the team in important games. In his 93 appearances for the club, he has scored 33 goals and provided 17 assists, but also hit the woodwork nine times this season and missed 26 big chances, second only to Erling Haaland.

Aside from Nunez, there are also speculations about Liverpool potentially offloading their talisman Mohamed Salah if they receive a lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League. However, it is believed that the club has no plans to sell him, even after his recent altercation with manager Jurgen Klopp.

As the season comes to an end, all eyes are on Liverpool and their potential transfers. With a new manager coming in and the need for a decent transfer budget, they may be open to making a big sale, and Nunez seems to be a prime candidate. But for now, it remains to be seen whether Barcelona's interest in Nunez will lead to any concrete offers and if Liverpool will be willing to let go of their rising star.
