Nunez sat for Saudi switch
[BBC] [Getty Images] Former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is set to join Al-Diriyah on a loan deal from Al-Hilal. The 27-year-old's move between the Saudi Pro League clubs is at an advanced stage with the transfer expected to be confirmed in the coming days. It is understood Al-Diriyah sporting director Dougie Freedman has played an integral role in the proposed deal. Freedman left his position at Crystal Palace last summer and helped the Al-Diriyah secure promotion into the Saudi top-flight in his first season. Having joined Liverpool in 2022 for a fee of up to £85m, the Uruguay international left Anfield last summer joining Al-Hilal. Nunez scored nine goals in all competitions for the club last season before making three appearances at the World Cup. He has been linked with a return to European football this summer but is set to stay in Saudi Arabia.
