The new Luis Suárez who is worth fortunes and is one step away from arriving at FC Barcelona to accompany Lionel Messi

Luis Suárez was one of the greatest attackers from FC Barcelona and left the club after 283 matches played and 113 goals scored, being one of the top-scorers from the history of the club. Ex-president Josep María Bartomeu considered that he was no longer needed and kicked him out.

Since then, head coach Ronald Koeman worked to know who could be his ideal replacement and Antoine Griezmann has been trying to occupy that role. Nevertheless, it is not the exact position where the French likes to play and the search of Barça for a no. 9 with the conditions of Suárez continue.

One of the attackers that the Catalan side is chasing and is set to be the new Luis Suárez is Darwin Núñez. He was formed at Peñarol, moved to UD Almería on August 2019 for $8 million and then to Benfica on September 2020 for $25 million. His actual reported value increased to $20 million now.

At Benfica, Núñez played 13 games, scoring six goals and giving six assists as well. Barcelona is chasing him, even though the financial situation of the club is not the best, and they’ll try to swap some players to sign him. They think he could be the perfect replacement for Suárez that could accompany Lionel Messi and help him stay.
