Liverpool supporters have been sent into a frenzy following a cryptic social media post from the club's official account regarding former striker Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan forward, who left Anfield only last summer, is suddenly being linked with a sensational return to Merseyside as a free agent - with fans urging new boss Andoni Iraola to bring him home.
Darwin Nunez has reportedly become a free agent after mutually terminating his contract with Al-Hilal, opening the door to a surprise return to Liverpool. The Reds have been offered the chance to bring back the Uruguay international without paying a transfer fee as they assess options to strengthen their attack.
Darwin Nunez is on the verge of another new chapter in his career. Could the striker be heading back to the Premier League? According to the Daily Mirror, the 26-year-old has mutually terminated his contract with Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
Darwin Nunez is prepared to call time on his adventure in Saudi Arabia after reaching an agreement to leave Al-Hilal at the end of the current campaign. The former Liverpool striker has endured a difficult period in the Middle East, finding himself frozen out of the squad following a registration squeeze.
Juventus have officially contacted Al-Hilal to explore signing striker Darwin Nunez this summer. With the Uruguayan's Middle East adventure souring since he was excluded from the Saudi Pro League squad list by manager Simone Inzaghi for the rest of the season, a return to Europe hinges on the Italian giants securing Champions League qualification in a tight domestic top-four race.
Ex-Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is reportedly in line for a return to the Premier League. Displaced by Karim Benzema at Al-Hilal, Chelsea, Newcastle United, and Tottenham are all said to be monitoring the 26-year-old as he seeks a redemption arc to silence the critics who once labelled him a flop at Anfield.
Chelsea have been advised to consider a transfer swoop for Darwin Nunez, with Marcel Desailly telling the Blues why the ex-Liverpool forward could end up being another Dennis Bergkamp. The mercurial Uruguayan striker endured a tough spell at Anfield, but a World Cup winner believes that he could thrive in the right surroundings - as Bergkamp once did at Arsenal.
Former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has been brutally axed from the Al-Hilal squad following the arrival of Karim Benzema. The Saudi Pro League heavyweights, who have their sights set on another domestic title triumph, acquired ex-Real Madrid star Benzema during the winter transfer window. There is now no room in their ranks for Uruguay international Nunez.
Florian Wirtz's situation at Liverpool has been likened to that of Darwin Nunez, with Peter Crouch confident that Reds supporters will take the German playmaker to their hearts. Wirtz has endured a tough start to his spell in English football, on the back of a £116 million ($156m) transfer, but he will boast the full support of those in the stands if he continues to give his all to the collective cause.
Hugo Ekitike announced himself to the Premier League in spectacular fashion, becoming only the second player in Liverpool’s history to mark his league debut with both a goal and an assist. The summer arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt had already opened his Reds account in the Community Shield last week, but under the Anfield lights on Friday night, he proved he was ready to deliver on the biggest stage.
Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah has delivered a heartfelt goodbye to Darwin Nunez after the Uruguayan forward sealed a big-money switch to Saudi champions Al-Hilal.
