Trabzonspor ‘pushing to seal’ Darwin Nunez loan from Al-Hilal | OneFootball

Trabzonspor are mounting a late push in the final hours of the window to sign Darwin Nunez on loan from Al-Hilal, with a deal said to be close.

According to 61saat, chairman Ertugrul Dogan and deputy Ibrahim Sahinkaya have led direct talks with Al-Hilal, which are progressing towards agreement. Discussions focus on the finances after Trabzonspor proposed an 8 million euros loan payment.

An unexpected element is Mohamed Salah. The chance to reunite Nunez with his former Liverpool teammate is viewed as influential in warming him to the offer.

There is a preliminary agreement with the player and remaining points with the Saudi club are being worked through. A definitive outcome is anticipated this week, one way or the other.

Nunez, 26, had an inconsistent season with Al-Hilal. He made 24 appearances across the Saudi Pro League, the AFC Champions League Elite and the King's Cup, returning 9 goals and 5 assists. He then spent 15 weeks out from round 21 due to foreign player registration rules.
