Darwin Nunez is reportedly on the verge of departing Al-Hilal, with a loan move including an option to buy until June 2027 imminent. The Uruguayan striker is actively seeking a transfer from the Saudi club.
Nunez has expressed a strong desire to return to European football and play for a title-contending team. His agents have offered his services to Barcelona, who have reportedly considered the possibility.
