Ex-Liverpool star’s future at Al-Hilal in doubt, Flamengo linked | OneFootball

Flamengo currently only has Pedro for the offensive sector

The transfer market remains busy, especially in Saudi Arabia, where Karim Benzema left Al Ittihad (SAU) to sign with Al Hilal (SAU). As a result, the Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez now has an uncertain future with the team.

Darwin Núñez is not expected to continue in Saudi football and may have his contract terminated with Al Hilal. At the moment, the former Liverpool (ENG) striker is negotiating a move to Fenerbahçe (TUR). However, it is still uncertain whether the player is willing to return to Europe.

HOW MUCH DID DARWIN NÚÑEZ COST?

Al Hilal signed Darwin Núñez in August last year for 53 million euros (about R$ 335.2 million at the time). However, the Uruguayan striker did not win over coach Simone Inzaghi and currently has seven goals and five assists in 22 matches.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?

At the moment, Flamengo is looking for a new striker to strengthen the club's offensive sector. Just for this season, the red-and-black team already tried to sign Taty Castellanos, who ended up joining West Ham (ENG), and Kaio Jorge, who stayed and renewed with Cruzeiro.

Thus, Flamengo remains active in the search for a new player to operate inside the box. Currently, the squad only has Pedro. O Mais Querido negotiated Juninho with Pumas (MEX) and Carlinhos with Remo. Finally, Wallace Yan is training separately.

WHO IS DARWIN NÚÑEZ?

Darwin Núñez emerged very young playing for Peñarol (URU), a traditional South American rival of Flamengo. Soon after, the Uruguayan striker was transferred to Benfica (POR), where he stood out. During this period, the number 9 was sold to Liverpool in 2022 for 75 million euros (R$ 392 million at the exchange rate at the time).
