Darwin Nunez has struggled to settle in Saudi Arabia. Bournemouth, Brighton and Villa remain within striking distance and could overtake the Reds if results go against them.Off the pitch, Darwin Nunez has reportedly agreed to leave Al-Hilal just months after joining the Saudi Pro League side.
He has not featured since February.Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has reported that the situation between Darwin Nunez and Al Hilal is complicated, but the striker could leave this summer.Romano adds that European clubs, as well as other Saudi Pro League sides, are monitoring the situation and could move for the forward if an exit becomes possible.Romano said on his YouTube channel: “The situation between Darwin Nunez and Al Hilal is complicated. Darwin was left out of the squad for the Saudi Pro League, only playing in the Asian Champions Cup, but not playing in the Saudi Pro League since Karim Benzema joined the club on deadline day in January.“And so obviously that’s a big, big impact for Darwin Nunez, who wants to play obviously on a regular basis.
But at the moment still not clear on which terms a loan, a permanent deal, or free.“It’s important to understand what they decide to do, and at the moment, the terms are not public yet about what they really want to do with Darwin yet.“I think after the final verdict on the Saudi Pro league, Al Hilal will clarify the situation of Darwin, but there is a chance for sure for him to leave Al Hilal.“There are European clubs and also other Saudi clubs interested in Darwin. So we have to understand if Saudi clubs will offer a new opportunity and Darwin can begin, or if European clubs can consider a comeback of Darwin, but obviously on different terms and on a different salary.”While a return to Liverpool is not currently on the table, some Premier League clubs have shown interest in Nunez due to his situation.
