Darwin Núñez is not considered a good fit for the style of play Xavi wants to establish at Barcelona.
Xavi favors forwards who are versatile, capable of pressing, and maintain constant communication with their teammates—traits Núñez lacks. Additionally, Xavi feels that Núñez lacks the technical skill and goal-scoring instinct needed to compete at the highest level.
This decision shows that Barcelona is focused on acquiring players who can contribute right away and align with the team’s overall strategy, rather than signing someone based on their reputation or potential alone.
