Liverpool star now dreams of joining Barcelona if key player leaves, there is one problem

Barcelona are likely to have limited spending power in the summer transfer window, but this has not stopped players from wanting to join the Blaugrana.

Xavi will want to find a way to strengthen his squad on a limited budget, and whilst a deal for a midfielder in Guido Rodriguez now looks likely, there remains a problem in attack.

Robert Lewandowski is Barcelona’s top scorer with 17 strikes in La Liga, but his form has been inconsistent, and a big-money move for young striker Vitor Roque has been a disaster so far.

One surprise option has now emerged in Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez, but as it stands, a lot needs to happen before a move becomes possible.

Darwin Nunez would be interested in joining Barcelona from Liverpool

A report from SPORT has now claimed that the Uruguay star could make a surprise exit from Liverpool this summer, just two years after he arrived.

The 24-year-old has been brilliant at times, but his inconsistency in front of goal has proved frustrating, and with Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool, it is unclear what their next coach has planned for him.

The report also claims that the striker would be keen on a move to Barcelona, if Lewandowski leaves, but given that the veteran has one year left on his contract, this seems unlikely to happen this summer.

Nunez, who has previously played for Almeria, is seemingly keen on a return to Spain having struggled in England, and wants to join the Blaugrana.

Although he can be threatening in attack on his best day, Nunez’s inconsistent form in front of goal makes him an unreliable option for Xavi.

The striker also moved to Liverpool from Benfica for a huge fee, and Barcelona are unlikely to be able to afford what Liverpool will want to part ways with him.

Barcelona will eventually need a striker to replace Lewandowski, but as it stands, an expensive and unreliable option in Nunez should be avoided.
