According to suggestions from the Saudi Arabian press, Darwin Núñez could return to Portugal on loan, and the 27-year-old Uruguayan forward was subsequently linked with FC Porto, who are seeking a striker. The player reportedly moved to Al Hilal from Liverpool last season and did not satisfy the Saudi club's management.
He is not of interest to FC Porto. The forward does not match the profile sought by coach Francesco Farioli, and it is understood that if Núñez were to move to Portugal, his destination would not be FC Porto. Núñez has a contract with the Saudi club until June 30, 2028, and his current market value is €20.00m, according to Transfermarkt. He has made 41 appearances for Uruguay, scoring 13 goals. Other clubs that have recently been linked with the player include Beşiktaş, Atlanta United, and FC Barcelona.
