Former Liverpool <\/a>star Darwin Nunez has been told why it would make sense for him to complete a move to Chelsea this summer. Nunez spent three seasons on Merseyside following his switch from Benfica in 2022 and managed 40 goals in 143 outings before his exit last summer.<\/p>\n Nunez <\/a>left Liverpool to join Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal last year in a transfer valued at \u00a346.3million, though the Uruguay international’s situation has once more become a topic of speculation.<\/p>\n There have been suggestions that Nunez’s spell at Al Hilal could conclude this summer, with the forward omitted from the club’s registered squad for the campaign’s second half.<\/p>\n Consequently, there are whispers that a transfer could materialise this summer, and Chelsea have been suggested as the 26-year-old’s next potential destination.<\/p>\n Chelsea could face a hectic summer transfer window<\/a>, as they make preparations for the upcoming season under new boss Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n Whether Chelsea will look to recruit a new striker this summer remains uncertain, but former defender Marcel Desailly has outlined why Nunez merits consideration as a prospective target.<\/p>\n \u201cA player who could suit the profile is former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez,\u201d Desailly told Betway<\/a>. \u201cIf you give him the confidence and belief, he will not feel shy because the people in the system are a higher grade than him.<\/p>\n \u201cThat is what happened to him at Liverpool. There were too many players higher grade than him, so he couldn\u2019t express himself.<\/p>\n “At Chelsea, I\u2019m sure he would express himself and perform.<\/p>\n
