The Uruguayan left Anfield during the summer transfer window, completing a permanent move to Al Hilal in the Saudi Professional League for \u00a346 million (\u20ac53 million).<\/p>\n<p>The move brings Nunez to the end of three years on Merseyside, where he scored 40 goals in 143 games last season and helped Liverpool win the Premier League. Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike then arrived at Anfield in the same transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>Nunez took part in Liverpool&#8217;s pre-season in the summer before completing a move to Saudi Arabia, scoring in friendlies against Preston North End and Athletic Club.<\/p>\n<p>Since joining Al Hilal, Nunez has found the back of the net five times in 11 competitive matches, but only four of those have come in Saudi Professional League matches, reports the Liverpool Echo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Asked on X (formerly Twitter) if he would consider a return to his former club Almeria, Nu\u00f1ez responded within 24 hours and revealed his future ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll definitely be back someday!&#8221; Nunez wrote. &#8220;Almeria is my home. I love it very much. The best thing that happened to me was meeting my wife, who gave me a beautiful family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nunez spent the 2019\/20 season with Almeria before moving to Benfica. His excellent debut season in Spain saw him score 16 goals in 32 appearances and ultimately secured him a move to the Portuguese giants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Since Nunez arrived in Saudi Arabia, there has been speculation about his possible departure. The forward has been sidelined due to injury this season, but will remain optimistic about his appearance in Al Hilal&#8217;s AFC Champions League match against Sharjah on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>According to Transfermarkt, Nunez&#8217;s transfer fee has plummeted since his move to Al Hilal. His market value has fallen to \u20ac35m (\u00a330.6m), down from \u20ac45m (\u00a339.4m) previously.<\/p>\n<p>The January transfer window will give Nu\u00f1ez the possibility of further moves, but it remains to be seen whether the former Liverpool striker will move again just months after leaving Anfield.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2148714\/darwin-nunez-liverpool-transfer-al-hilal\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has revealed his intention to return to his former club later in his career.
