Could Darwin Núñez fit at Flamengo? Striker hints at leaving Saudi Arabia | OneFootball

Darwin Núñez has been playing infrequently at Al Hilal (SAU)

Flamengo is heading to the market in January, aiming for the start of the next season in Brazilian football. Thus, an option for the attack is the Uruguayan Darwin Núñez, who indicates a departure from Al Hilal (SAU) as early as next month.

According to the Argentine newspaper ‘Diário Olé’, the forward Darwin Núñez is dissatisfied at Al Hilal due to the playing time he has at the Saudi club. Thus, the Uruguayan player has become a target for South American clubs for 2026.

WHAT IS NÚÑEZ'S SITUATION AT AL HILAL?

Darwin Núñez arrived at Al Hilal to replace Neymar, who left for Santos. During this period, the Saudi club spent around R$ 340 million to sign the Uruguayan forward, who was at Liverpool (ENG).

In Saudi Arabia since mid-year, Darwin Núñez has played in only 11 matches across all competitions. During this period, the Uruguayan forward scored five goals and provided two assists for his teammates.

AND WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?

Currently, Flamengo has three players who play in the role of Darwin Núñez. Pedro is the starter but is injured. Wallace Yan is expected to be negotiated starting next year. Finally, Juninho is another player with an undefined situation at the club.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

While the transfer window is not open, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. Thus, the team will face Ceará this Wednesday (03), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the penultimate round of the Brazilian Championship.
