West Ham target Darwin Nunez not keen on Manchester City switch
West Ham target Darwin Nunez is reportedly not considering a move to Manchester City this summer.
According to the Sun, despite his admiration for Pep Guardiola, he does not see the Citizens as a ‘perfect fit’.
It’s understood that he would prefer to leave this summer and Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are preferred locations while Manchester United is not a club he would fancy joining.
Is there a chance?
The Hammers have been in hot pursuit of Nunez since the January transfer window.
They even tabled a bid for him but it was turned down and they failed to get the Uruguay international over the line.
With the Citizens out of the question, it gives Hammers some hope that they can land the 22-year-old.
However, they will have to fend off interest from clubs that can offer him Champions League football.
It also remains to be seen if they can actually afford to sign the player this summer.
From all that we’ve heard and been reading, if they are to get him over the line, they will have to break their transfer record.
Whether or not David Gold and David Sullivan are willing to do that, remains to be seen as there is a lot riding on the summer transfer window and a striker is imperative.
In other West Ham news, the Hammers have scouted a £20m-rated ‘Dangerous’ British striker and want to seal a permanent move this summer.
