Darwin Nunez of S.L. Benfica

A relatively unknown player from tier two of La Liga is hardly someone a club like Barcelona would pay attention to but Darwin Nunez is an exception. His brilliant adaptation to Spanish football is what made the Catalans interested in him in the first place. The Uruguayan scored 16 goals in 32 matches last season with UD Almeria and the plan was to buy the young player and then send him back to Almeria on a loan. However, none of this could happen as Portuguese giants, Benfica swooped in and acquired him for a fee of 24 million Euros. Barcelona have not given up hope though and continues to scout the player. As soon as the new president comes in, he will want to bring in a number nine and Nunez should be one of the candidates. It will be hard to sign him given his five-year contract with Benfica but an offer from Camp Nou could change his mind.
