While Dortmund might want Nuñez, they are not the only ones who want to sign him. According to Spanish news outlet, Sport, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan are also interested in the striker, who has a contract with Benfica until 2025.
Since Nuñez release club is 150 million euros, Dortmund will have to negotiate with Benfica if they actually want him. So far, in 16 games played this season, the Uruguayan forward has scored 11 goals and given two assists.
