Darwin Nunez has made a request to leave Al Hilal and has pressured the club to facilitate his departure. He has accepted a reduction in his salary. Porto are interested in Darwin Nunez and are in competition with Benfica to sign him on loan with an option to buy.

According to suggestions from the Saudi Arabian press, Darwin Núñez could return to Portugal on loan and was subsequently linked with FC Porto. The player is not of interest to FC Porto as the forward does not match the profile sought by coach Francesco Farioli. Núñez has a contract with the Saudi club until June 30, 2028, and his current market value is €20.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
