Darwin Nunez recommended to Chelsea by Marcel Desailly

Former Blues Star Marcel Desailly has opened up and recommended Al Hilal striker Darwin Nunez to CHELSEA, amid the latest reports which have claimed the former Liverpool striker wants a move back to European Football.

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

‘I would actually recommend Núñez for Chelsea. He’s a very good player, a smart player – he just needs the right environment to perform,’ Desailly said.

‘When Liverpool identified his potential they knew what they had statistically. But when you start on a bad note, the confidence disappears and the consideration from those around you follows.

‘It’s like Dennis Bergkamp going to Inter Milan – things went completely wrong. Or Roberto Carlos in his early days, shooting the ball into the stands. The confidence wasn’t there.

‘That’s what happened to Núñez at Liverpool. But the quality is still there.’

Will Chelsea try to sign Darwin Nunez?

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

So we believe he would not be a good signing for CHELSEA, 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.
