Darwin Núñez Transfer from Al Hilal to Newcastle United
TEAMtalk reports that several Premier League clubs are monitoring Darwin Nunez's situation. The 26-year-old Uruguayan centre-forward, who joined Al-Hilal from Liverpool last summer for approximately £46 million, is considering his future after being dropped from the league squad in February due to foreign player limits following Karim Benzema's arrival. Intermediaries have spoken with multiple clubs in England, and TEAMtalk confirms that Newcastle and Tottenham are among those alerted to the possibility of Nunez becoming available. The report also mentions that Atletico Madrid and Juventus, described as long-term admirers, would be interested if a deal were financially viable. It is believed Nunez would be willing to accept a significant reduction to his reported £400,000-a-week salary to facilitate a return to Europe. The Uruguayan international has 36 caps and 13 goals for his country, and in the current Saudi Pro League season, he has 6 goals and 4 assists in 16 appearances. His contract with the club expires in June 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €35 million. In February 2026, reports suggested Al Hilal was willing to allow the player to leave on loan to Fenerbahçe without a fee.
