Darwin Núñez not on FC Porto's radar | OneFootball

After the Saudi press reported that Darwin Núñez could return to Portugal on loan, the Uruguayan striker was quickly linked with FC Porto, as the Dragons are looking for a centre-forward in the market.

However, Darwin Núñez is not part of FC Porto’s plans and, if he does return to Portugal, it will not be to represent the blue-and-white club, newspaper A BOLA reported this Wednesday.

The Uruguayan international moved from Liverpool to Al-Hilal last season, but failed to convince those in charge at the Saudi club. Although he is now being linked with the Portuguese league, his destination is not expected to be the current national champion.

FC Porto are looking for a striker to compete for a place with André Silva and Deniz Gül, as well as to provide an option while Samu has yet to fully return to action, something that is only expected to happen in November. Darwin Núñez also does not fit the profile desired by coach Francesco Farioli.
