Liverpool Set to Bring Back Nunez from Al Hilal Following Saudi Stint

Liverpool appears poised to reacquire striker Darwin Nunez from Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal, marking a reversal of the club's decision to sell him ahead of the 2025-2026 campaign.

The Merseyside club had transferred the Uruguayan forward to Al Hilal for approximately 46 million pounds sterling before the season commenced. During his time with the Saudi side, Nunez netted nine goals across 24 appearances, though his prominence diminished in recent months following the recruitment of French striker Karim Benzema.

According to journalist Juan Pablo Romero, Nunez's departure from Al Hilal is effectively settled, with a formal announcement anticipated once the World Cup concludes. Speaking on a YouTube broadcast, Romero confirmed that the player has essentially concluded his tenure at the Saudi club.

"The return will not be made public in the immediate future, as the player has prioritized his focus on Uruguay's World Cup campaign," Romero stated.

Should the transfer materialize, Nunez would represent a significant reinforcement to Liverpool's forward options. He would provide depth alongside striker Alexander Isak, while the club awaits the recovery of Hugo Equitiki from a severe knee injury sustained earlier.
