Al Hilal drop ex-Liverpool star, could Flamengo be next? | OneFootball

Which former Liverpool (ENG) striker will not be able to play in the Saudi League for Al Hilal (KSA)?

Al Hilal (KSA) signed Karim Benzema in this transfer window. Because of this, the Saudi club left Darwin Núñez out of the squad list for Saudi League matches.

This is because Al Hilal has a limit on the number of foreign players it can register for Saudi League games. Therefore, with the arrival of Benzema, who was at Al Ittihad (KSA), the Saudi team decided to leave the Uruguayan striker and defender Pablo Marí off the registration list.

Therefore, Darwin Núñez and Pablo Marí will only be able to play for Al Hilal in Asian Champions League matches. Currently, the Saudi team leads the West Group, with six wins and only one draw in seven matches played so far.

And Flamengo?

Flamengo is looking to sign a striker to compete for the position with Pedro. However, Darwin Núñez does not intend to accept a salary lower than what he currently earns at Al Hilal. For this reason, the Red and Black have not started negotiations with the player.

And Pablo Marí?

Pablo Marí played for Flamengo in the 2019 season and won the Brazilian Championship and the Libertadores. The defender, however, left the Red and Black in 2020 to wear the Arsenal (ENG) shirt.
