An unexpected turn has occurred in the career of Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez. According to The Mirror, the 26-year-old has mutually terminated his contract with Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal. He is now free to join any team as a free agent during the summer transfer window, reports Goal.com reports .
Recall that Nunez moved from Liverpool to the Saudi club last year for 53 million euros. However, due to foreign player quota regulations and the arrival of Karim Benzema, the Uruguayan's playing time dropped significantly. He was removed from the club's squad during the winter transfer window.
Currently, Premier League clubs Newcastle United and Chelsea are monitoring the player's situation. The probability of Nunez returning to England is considered high, as he aims to regain his form and secure his place in the national team.
Darwin Nunez made 22 appearances in the Saudi league, scoring 9 goals and providing 5 assists. However, his lack of competitive action since February may affect his fitness. The striker is eager to find a new club to prove himself in upcoming summer competitions.
