Arsenal have reportedly lost ground in their pursuit of Darwin Nunez in the summer transfer. There could be two reasons determining this factor with the Gunners' likelihood of missing out on the Champions League being a crucial reason, alongside his decision to switch agents.
According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein Chelsea, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have emerged as the front runners to sign the Uruguayan international at the end of the season. The Gunners were not mentioned.
Arsenal’s recent dip in form has seen Mikel Arteta’s side lose crucial ground in the race for top four. The north London sides' uncertainty about the potential of Champions League football next season could turn Nunez away as he has made a name for himself in the elite European competition this campaign.
