Unexpected twist in the saga! Darwin Núñez decides on his next club
The future of the star Uruguayan forward is finally taking shape.
Details: Despite numerous rumors, Al Hilal striker Darwin Núñez never reached any sort of agreement with Turkish clubs—neither Beşiktaş nor Trabzonspor. No flights to Turkey were ever scheduled, as the 27-year-old continued to carefully assess his career options both in Saudi Arabia and Europe.
According to renowned insider Fabrizio Romano, the Uruguayan is now close to joining another Saudi club—Al Diriyah. Negotiations have entered the final stage, with both parties ironing out the last details of the impending deal.
It’s worth noting that in the 2025/26 season, the Uruguayan forward made 24 appearances for Al Hilal across all competitions, scoring 9 goals and providing 5 assists. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value stands at 20 million euros.
