Barcelona has been informed of his availability but has not initiated formal negotiations. The Catalan club remains focused on other targets, Julian Alvarez, while considering Nunez as a potential alternative. Al Hilal hopes a loan move will help Nunez rebuild his career before a permanent sale next summer.
