Head coach Simone Inzaghi dropped Nunez from the foreign-player registration list to accommodate Karim Benzema, restricting the former Liverpool man strictly to AFC Champions League fixtures.
Barcelona consider Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez their main attacking target. However, club officials are maintaining a list of secondary options if negotiations for Alvarez stall due to financial constraints.
Nunez views himself as a viable, cost-effective alternative for the Catalan club. Representatives for the Uruguayan are also monitoring Ferran Torres, who faces an uncertain future at Camp Nou amid sustained interest from PSG.
Based on reports from Spain, Al-Hilal could allow Nunez to leave for a modest fee to resolve their foreign-player quota issue. Until a concrete offer arrives, the striker continues training with the Saudi side while awaiting his next career move.
