Sporting take stance on Darwin Núñez transfer

Darwin Núñez is not part of Sporting’s plans for this summer transfer window. The 27-year-old Uruguayan forward belongs to Al Hilal and was recently linked with a possible return to Portuguese football, a scenario that is unlikely to materialize through the doors of Alvalade.

In recent hours, the Saudi outlet ‘Arriyadiyah’ reported that Darwin Núñez was close to returning to Portugal, without, however, identifying the interested club. Despite the possibility of a departure from Al Hilal being on the table, none of the Big Three intends to take in the player.

The Uruguayan international moved to Saudi Arabia last season, after three campaigns with Liverpool. The forward failed to fully convince the Al Hilal hierarchy and could leave the club due to the limit on foreign players.
