Atlanta United is considering the possibility of strengthening its attack and has opened negotiations to move forward Darwin Nunez. The Athletic reports this.

According to Dzherel, representatives of the club have already been in contact with the Uruguayan forward, but negotiations are only at the early stage. At the same time, Atlanta is working on a number of other options, including forward of the national team of Switzerland Brel Embolo.

To make such a transfer, the club must reserve a place on the roster for a “designated player.”. It looks like Atlanta may soon part ways with the most expensive addition to the club's history, Emmanuel Latte Lat, in order to allow more active activity in the market.

Nunes, who now stands for Al-Hilal, Saudi Arabia may be deprived of entry. Uruguay has lost its place in the bid after the arrival of Karim Benzema, the remaining Saudi League clubs can register as many foreign players as possible.

Last season, the 27-year-old forward played 16 matches for Al-Hilal, scoring six goals and providing four assists. Nunes previously played for Liverpool before moving from Benfica in 2022 for approximately 90 million dollars. The English club has scored 25 goals and received 16 assists in 95 Premier League matches.
