Almeria president Turki Al-Sheikh has told Barcelona to sign Darwin Nunez.

Nunez left Almeria for Benfica last year and has since been a revelation for the Portuguese giants.

It's emerged that Barca are watching the Uruguay international as they consider Nunez as a replacement for Luis Suarez, now of Atletico Madrid.

And Al-Sheikh says Barca should immediately move for him.

"This player [Darwin] had a connection with me and I have fatherly feelings towards him. He was one of my discoveries and I think he is a 'magic remedy' for Barcelona's attack, they should take this into account," he declared.
