Darwin Nunez is enjoying an impressive season with Benfica. So much so that the youngster has become one of European football's revelations of 2020/21.
Barcelona are one of the clubs said to be keeping tabs on his progress, but they face competition in pursuit of the Uruguayan. After Luis Suarez's departure, Ronald Koeman continues his search for a new forward and Darwin could be the man to do it.
That is the opinion of Turki Al-Sheikh, who is the owner of Almeria and the man responsible for bringing Nunez to Europe.
"This player connects with me and I feel paternal feelings towards him," Al-Sheikh wrote on Instagram. "He's one of my discoveries and I think he could be a magic medicine for Barcelona's attack. I think they should consider him."
A player to watch
The 21-year-old scored 16 goals and added three more assists in LaLiga Smartbank, before setting off for Benfica.
Nunez has scored five goals and provided one assist in five Europa League games this season, making Europe's other big clubs sit up and take note.

Ofcourse they can and that's what they've been doing but Messi has been so poor not finishing well, he had 7 shots on target against an old buffon and no goal, maybe an exciting signing like halland would bring Messi to his again

We need direct impact in the team, have y'all seen the opponents we might face in round 16, halland is up for sale, why is barca not trying to sign him?, that's a direct impact, not a Nunez really, he's a decent player too but won't offer enough for barca right now, let barca try to sign haland by selling some players and all and if they still can't then Nunez as a plan B is good. Halland is a top young Striker up for sale why is the best club in the world not trying to sing him, even as they stand as the only club in Europe without a Striker?
Halaand will be a real Madrid player and will join real Madrid the best club of the century

We had the opportunity to signed halland , and Mbappe but we didn't and now they are doing very well in Europe. I think Barca should take the risk and sign this guy. his goal ratio is impressive. not any game level but Europa league. so please have a thought.
