Darwin Nunez Shock Return Rumor Grows as Liverpool Consider Surprise Re-Signing

A surprising transfer story is emerging around Darwin Nunez, who could be set for an unexpected return to Liverpool during the upcoming summer window. The forward is now a free agent after mutually ending his contract with Al-Hilal, opening the door for multiple clubs to pursue him without paying a transfer fee.

Liverpool are among the teams given the opportunity to re-sign their former striker, with internal discussions reportedly taking place. According to reports from sources such as TEAMtalk, the club is evaluating Nunez as a potential addition to strengthen their attacking options at no cost.

Interest in the Uruguayan forward has increased due to squad concerns, particularly after a serious Achilles injury to Hugo Ekitike, which is expected to sideline him for an extended period. This situation has forced Liverpool to explore short-term and long-term attacking reinforcements.

Nunez's brief spell in Saudi Arabia ended sooner than expected, partly influenced by changes in squad registration rules following the arrival of high-profile players such as Karim Benzema. As a result, his role at Al-Hilal became limited, eventually leading to an early contract termination.

Beyond Liverpool, clubs such as Chelsea and Newcastle United are also monitoring the situation. With strong Premier League experience, tactical compatibility under coach Andoni Iraola, and an impressive record of 25 goals and 16 assists in his previous spell, Nunez remains an attractive option, especially as he is reportedly open to a return to Anfield.
