After Barcelona, Liverpool and other suitors have fallen behind, the probability of Manchester City signing Haaland is undoubtedly very large. The German authoritative media "Bild" revealed that Manchester City has no doubt about signing Haaland, and the current negotiations are only stuck on the commission issue, and the problem of money is obviously difficult for Manchester City to become a problem. But in fact, instead of spending high transfer fees, huge commissions and sky-high salaries to sign Haaland, it is better to turn around and pursue another midfielder with equally explosive goal statistics, he is Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan attacking genius who is playing for Benfica, who will turn 23 years old in 2 months and played in The La Liga team 3 years ago, joined Benfica in the summer of 2020 for a transfer fee of more than 20 million yuan, and spent a season to adapt to the top stage.
So far this season, in the 2240 minutes of league and Champions League time, he has scored 30 goals and 3 assists, averaging less than 70 minutes to create a goal for the team, an efficiency that can already be tied with Haaland this season. At the same time, in terms of the shooting technique that Manchester City desperately needs, Núñez is even more top-notch, with his 30 league and Champions League goals coming from about 90 attempts on goal, which means that 3 shots on goal can convert into 1 goal, which is nearly 3 times more efficient than Jesus this season. In the key hard battle, Núñez also proved himself, in the past Champions League quarter-final knockout match, Núñez performed well in the two-legged battle with Liverpool, one person scored 2 goals and scored an average of 7.7 points per game, and counting the 2 games against Liverpool, Núñez has made 7 goals in the last 4 games, 6 goals and 1 assist.
Such a performance, even the opponent manager Klopp has been subdued, the premier League's top coach not only looks really handsome after the game, but also bluntly said that as long as he stays healthy, then he will have a great career. It is not only Klopp who is optimistic about Núñez, who previously reported that Su Ya used his 15 years of experience in the national team as a guarantee to recommend this talented fellow to Barca. So in addition to having a fiery performance on the field that is not inferior to Haaland, what are the advantages of Núñez?
First of all, the first is money, although from a number of foreign media reports, as well as Benfica's consistent style, Nuñez transfer fee is likely to reach the level of 70 or 80 million, but the problem is that in terms of commissions and salary, Manchester City can save huge sums of money. In addition, in view of the comprehensive performance of stars such as Pogba and Donnarumma under Raiola's account, the drama of getting a salary increase and leaving the team after signing Haaland is inevitable. Núñez's second advantage is that there are fewer injuries, although there are also some, but Haaland's injury problem is obviously more serious, and the German media "Sport 1" even said that Manchester City's negotiations to sign Haaland may suddenly break down due to injury problems. So from the current point of view, instead of spending a lot of money to buy Haaland, it is better to join the Núñez scramble.
