Al Diria loan Núñez - Romano

Saudi club Al-Diriya has reached a verbal agreement to sign star Uruguayan forward Darwin Nunes. According to authoritative insider insider, Al-Hilal management gave the green light to the transfer of the player. Lease calculated for exactly one season — the agreement does not include options or obligations to buy out the player further. Currently, the parties are actively preparing the necessary documents before the medical examination and the official signing of the contract. Romano also denied information about Nunes' possible move to the Turkish Super League: negotiations with Trabzonspor and Besiktas were never at an advanced stage. We will remind that Darwin's journey in Saudi Arabia began in the summer of 2025, when Al-Hilal bought his contract from the English Liverpool for a solid 53 million euros. The Uruguayan proved himself very well at the start and demonstrated a quality game. However, the situation changed dramatically after the club signed the French star Karim Benzema. Nunez was excluded from Al-Hilal's bid due to the strict limit on legionnaires in the Saudi Arabian league. The striker has recently kept his playing tone solely through call-ups and matches for the national team of Uruguay / A move to Al-Diriya should be a chance for the 27-year-old forward to reset and return to regular game practice.
