According to reports, Manchester United are more interested in Benfica goalscorer Núñez than Arsenal at this stage.
The Daily Telegraph said Arsenal's interest in Nunez was considered to be far inferior to Manchester United. Benfica hopes to close negotiations early in the summer window, receiving a transfer fee of at least £60 million.
A move to La Liga is the most likely scenario, with Atletico in the lead. But a key factor is whether the three teams qualify for the Champions League. Nunez tends to play in the Champions League, so the qualification of the three teams will have an impact on his decision.
Only one of Arsenal and Manchester United should qualify for the Champions League – provided Spurs don't overtake them. Therefore, the outcome of the battle for four may determine which Premier League team can continue to pursue Núñez.
Other Premier League favourites such as Newcastle, West Ham and Brighton have also taken an interest in it in the past, but it now looks like they have pulled out of the fight.
According to reports, Arsenal have been making extensive expeditions to Napoli's Osmayne and Inter's Lautaro Martinez.
CBS Sports reported that while David, Lewin and Isaac were arsenal targets for the summer window, the gunmen were also visiting Napoli's Osmayne and Inter's Lautaro.
Arsenal have been looking for a young but experienced and consistent scorer, which is not an easy task this summer. Qualifying for the Champions League will help.
Last summer, Arteta's side were linked to Lautaro, but given Arsenal's total spending at the time, the deal doesn't look realistic.
With the Gunners at the time, investing £100 million to bring in six capable players was obviously more cost-effective than bringing in Lautaro at 60-80 million. This time it's a completely different situation, and the team desperately needs a high-quality center. But Lautaro has already renewed his contract with Inter and bringing him in won't be easy.
The situation is similar for Osmayne. There are reports that Naples is priced at no less than 60 million and that negotiations with them have always been very arduous, as can be seen from the time of leaving Koulibaly to the present.
Lautaro has scored 16 goals in 39 appearances in all competitions this season, while Osmayne has scored 15 goals in 25 games.
