Darwin Nunez Pushes to Leave Al-Hilal, Dreams of Barcelona Move
According to Diario Sport, Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez is actively pushing to leave Saudi club Al-Hilal this summer. Nunez, who joined Al-Hilal for €55 million last year after an inconsistent spell at Liverpool, does not want to remain as a substitute behind Karim Benzema. His agent Jorge Mendes is exploring options to bring him back to a top European league, with Nunez's dream being to join Barcelona. The player has offered himself to Barcelona and is awaiting developments, though Barcelona is currently prioritizing a move for Julian Alvarez. Nunez is willing to forgo part of his lucrative Saudi salary to facilitate a move, ideally via a loan similar to Barcelona's deal for Joao Cancelo. Al-Hilal wants to recoup its initial investment, complicating a smooth termination. Nunez and Barcelona had a missed opportunity in 2020 when Benfica outbid Barcelona for his transfer from Almeria.
