Rumors suggest that Nunez might join Atletico Madrid, but River Plate is also interested in signing him. River wants Nunez to be their key player for the upcoming Club World Cup tournament, which takes place in June. They aim to sign him during the tournament's shortened transfer window.

River's coach, Marcelo Gallardo, has expressed his desire to have Nunez on the team. However, Nunez's salary expectations might be a problem for River. In addition to Nunez, River is also considering signing Atletico Madrid's Angel Correa.
