Bayern Munich cool their interest in Benfica striker Darwin Nunez ahead of the summer market, according to a report.

Bayern Munich have reportedly cooled their interest in Benfica striker Darwin Nunez ahead of this summer's transfer window due to the money required to sign him.

The 22-year-old has been in excellent form for his Portuguese club during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring 33 goals and registering four assists in 39 appearances in all competitions.

Manchester United continue to be strongly linked with the Uruguay international, with the Red Devils expected to be in the market for at least one forward ahead of next season.

Bayern have also been heavily linked with his services, but according to Bild, the Bundesliga champions will not be moving for him during the summer window.

The report claims that Benfica want a fee of between €70m (£58.7m) and €80m (£67.1m) for the South American, which has priced the German outfit out of a deal.

Nunez has also been linked with Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool ahead of the summer window, with his Portuguese club unlikely to keep hold of him beyond the end of the season.
