Are BVB plotting a transfer coup? – Rumours over Darwin Núñez | OneFootball

Whether Serhou Guirassy will still be hunting for goals for Borussia Dortmund next season remains unclear at the moment after speculation in all sorts of directions. And since Fabio Silva has also repeatedly been linked with thoughts of a quick departure since arriving at the end of the 2025 summer transfer window, there is currently still a question mark hanging over BVB’s future attack – including rumors about possible reinforcements.

Matias Fernandez-Pardo of Lille OSC is said to have generally attracted Dortmund’s interest, although with a price tag in the region of 30 million euros he would be anything but cheap. In addition, the 21-year-old, who is in Belgium’s squad for the 2026 World Cup, was only moved more centrally from the wing during the course of the season, so he is not really a natural center-forward — the kind of player BVB would need if Guirassy and/or Silva were to leave.

Darwin Núñez, meanwhile, unquestionably falls into the category of a classic number nine. Since his move from Liverpool FC to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia last summer for more than 50 million euros, he has faded a little from view. Nine goals and five assists in 24 appearances across all competitions is not a bad return, but since February and the signing of Karim Benzema, Núñez has no longer been part of the Pro League squad and is already facing a departure from Saudi Arabia again.

Interest from England and Italy

According to a report by Teamtalk.com, several Premier League clubs such as Chelsea, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Núñez, who is also said to be on the radar of Juventus and AC Milan — and, according to the report, BVB as well.

A move for the Uruguayan international to Dortmund does not, however, seem particularly realistic. If only because Núñez would not come anywhere close at BVB to matching his current salary, reportedly more than 20 million euros net per year.
