Hero of Benfica’s classification against Ajax, for the round of 16 of the Champions League, Uruguayan Darwin Nuñez aroused the interest of a European giant.
According to information from the Sport newspaper, Barcelona wants to sign the author of the goal that gave the Portuguese a spot in this Tuesday’s match.
