Chelsea encouraged sign Darwin Nunez

Former Blues star turned pundit Marcel Desailly believes former Liverpool star Darwin Nunez has plenty left to prove in the Premier League, naming Chelsea and Manchester United as possible destinations.

The Uruguayan international, who left Anfield in the summer, is said to have emerged as a potential attacking solution for the two clubs as they look to reinforce their forward lines ahead of next season.

Núñez endured an inconsistent spell at Liverpool after joining from Benfica in 2022, producing flashes of explosive quality but struggling for sustained form in Jürgen Klopp’s system.

Despite a respectable goal return across all competitions, the club opted to reshape its attacking unit, leading to his exit. His performances since leaving England — marked by improved finishing and renewed confidence — have now reportedly placed him back on the radar of top-flight sides seeking a powerful, versatile forward

And amid all the speculation and rumours, Desailly has come out and encouraged both CHELSEA and Manchester United to consider making a move to sign the former Liverpool star when the transfer window opens up: ‘I’m pleased to see him wanting to come back to European football – it shows money isn’t everything,’ Desailly told Footitalia.

‘A club like Chelsea, or the new Manchester United, would be best for him. He needs to be surrounded by established, confident players who know they’re going to play every weekend and who will give him the ball on the first intention.

‘That’s the small detail – when he makes a run, he needs to get the ball immediately. Otherwise he loses confidence quickly.’

Could United or Chelsea sign Nunez?

Look, Nunez has got his confidence back in Saudi Arabia, he is scoring goals again, but he would be a Fernando Torres type signing for both United and CHELSEA. A striker signing that has all the potential and the inability to score the goals that he was signed for.

If he does come back to European football, he should look to make the move to Italy or Spain, that style of football suits his ability alot more than what the Premier League does.

So we believe he would not be a good signing for Chelsea or United, he was giving all the opportunities at Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp to shine, but he just couldnt score goals in one of the best attacks in Europe.
