Barcelona 'line up shock swoop for Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez'

Barcelona have reportedly earmarked Liverpool's Darwin Nunez as a potential successor to Robert Lewandowski. The legendary Polish striker netted a first-half penalty on Saturday as Xavi's side suffered a 4-2 defeat against Girona at the Estadi Montilivi. Failure to secure three points saw Real Madrid crowned champions of LaLiga for a record-extending 36th time and reports suggest Xavi is already planning for a summer rebuild after falling short in the title race. Since arriving at the club in a £42.5m deal from Bayern Munich in 2022, Lewandowski has remained one of Barca's highest-earners amidst ongoing financial troubles.
