After the Uruguayan forward was left out of Al Hilal's squad for the Saudi Pro League and Saudi Cup, the chances of his transfer have started to rise.
Details: According to TEAMTalk, 26-year-old Al Hilal striker Darwin Núñez may consider a move this summer. Intermediaries have already started talks with several clubs, with Tottenham and Newcastle named among the interested parties.
Following the signing of Karim Benzema, the club's management decided to exclude Darwin Núñez from the squad for the Saudi Pro League and King's Cup due to strict foreign player quotas.
The player himself is open to changing clubs and ready to discuss a potential move. In the 2025/26 season, Núñez played 24 matches across all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing five assists. His contract with Al Hilal runs until June 2028, and his transfer value is set at 35 million euros.
