Playing style
Núñez operates as a pure nine, positioning himself to finish chances with ruthlessness rather than elaborate build-up play. His movement in and around the box is sharp; he reads defensive shape quickly and executes with clinical precision. A prolific threat who thrives on direct service and opportunities in congested areas.

In his prime and developing at an elite level, Núñez remains a key attacking asset for Uruguay's future. His prolific nature and goal threat keep him firmly in conversation for major tournament consideration, though his path to 2026 squad involvement remains unconfirmed.
