Benfica striker Darwin Nunez reportedly prefers a move to Manchester City over Manchester United or Arsenal in the summer transfer window.

Benfica striker Darwin Nunez would reportedly prefer a move to Manchester City rather than Manchester United or Arsenal this summer.

The Uruguay international continues to be linked with a switch to the Premier League having found the back of the net 28 times in 35 matches across all tournaments this season.

Man United and Arsenal are thought to be two of the leading contenders for the signature of Nunez, who is supposedly set to leave Benfica ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

However, according to Portuguese outlet Record - via Sport Witness - City is one of two clubs that Nunez is leaning towards moving to this summer, with the other being Atletico Madrid.

The report adds that Benfica could now be set to demand up to €100m (£83.6m) to part ways with Nunez, which City will be unlikely to fork out while they prioritise a move for Borussia Dortmund's Erling Braut Haaland.

Nunez's contract with Benfica does not expire until 2025, and Man United's hopes of signing the 22-year-old are believed to hinge on whether they will qualify for the Champions League.
