AC Milan ready to spend €60m as Liverpool assess transfer offer

AC Milan has reportedly submitted a €60 million offer for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, emerging as serious contenders for the Uruguayan. This development follows Napoli's withdrawal from pursuing the player after their earlier bid of €50 million plus €5 million in bonuses was rejected by Liverpool as insufficient.

Napoli, frustrated by Liverpool's valuation, has shifted its focus to Udinese striker Lorenzo Lucca, expected to cost around €34 million.

With Napoli out of the picture, AC Milan's offer is seen as aligning more closely with Liverpool's expectations, potentially facilitating further talks. Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal also remains firmly interested in Nunez and could return with a counteroffer, giving both Liverpool and the player options.

Nunez's future has been a persistent topic this summer, with a growing sense that a fresh start might be beneficial for all parties after a mixed season under manager Arne Slot. The key difference between the collapsed Napoli move and the potential Milan transfer is the reported offer meeting Liverpool's valuation.

With Milan and Al-Hilal seriously involved and the player open to a move, Liverpool may have reached a decisive point in negotiations regarding Nunez's future.
