Darwin Nunez set for summer return to Liverpool from Al-Hilal

Darwin Nunez is expected to rejoin Liverpool this summer after leaving for Saudi side Al-Hilal in a £45m deal last year. Reports indicate he is negotiating a contract termination with Al-Hilal, where he was excluded from the squad for the second half of the 2025/26 season due to foreign player registration rules. Nunez aims to focus on the upcoming 2026 World Cup while securing his exit. Martin Chaquero, a Uruguayan journalist, claims an agreement is in place for Nunez's return, although official confirmation is pending. Liverpool is looking to fill the gap left by Hugo Ekitike, who is projected to be out until 2027 following a serious Achilles injury.
