Conflicting accounts have emerged over who will pay Darwin Nunez’s wages during his loan from Al-Hilal to Al-Diriyah.

Saudi outlet Al-Yaum reports that Al-Hilal will not cover any part of the striker’s salary, stating Al-Diriyah will meet the full cost during the loan.

Other reports had suggested Al-Hilal would fund about 10 million euros of Nunez’s 15 million euros annual pay, leaving 5 million euros to Al-Diriyah.

Talk of that split sparked debate among fans about the logic of such a deal, especially as clubs seek tighter squad and budget management.

With two competing versions on the table, the financial picture remains unclear.

Clarity depends on the final contract terms between the parties, and supporters await confirmation of the precise arrangement.
