Fresh reports have again claimed that Chelsea are seriously considering bringing former Liverpool star Darwin Nunez back to the Premier League.
Núñez endured an inconsistent spell at Liverpool after joining from Benfica in 2022, producing flashes of explosive quality but struggling for sustained form in Jürgen Klopp’s system.
Despite a respectable goal return across all competitions, the club opted to reshape its attacking unit, leading to his exit. His performances since leaving England — marked by improved finishing and renewed confidence — have now reportedly placed him back on the radar of top-flight sides seeking a powerful, versatile forward
According to reports on the Daily Mirror website, Chelsea are keeping an eye on the performances of Darwin Nunez and could be interested in a move if the striker wants a move back to England.
Amid the speculation, Marcel Desailly claimed Chelsea should make a move for the striker: ‘I would actually recommend Núñez for CHELSEA. He’s a very good player, a smart player – he just needs the right environment to perform,’ Desailly said.
‘When Liverpool identified his potential they knew what they had statistically. But when you start on a bad note, the confidence disappears and the consideration from those around you follows.
‘It’s like Dennis Bergkamp going to Inter Milan – things went completely wrong. Or Roberto Carlos in his early days, shooting the ball into the stands. The confidence wasn’t there.
‘That’s what happened to Núñez at Liverpool. But the quality is still there.’

His tendency to drift wide and disrupt positional structure could also clash with Chelsea’s attempts to build a more disciplined, possession-based system.
With the squad crying out for a clinical, composed presence rather than another high-variance forward,
