Darwin Nunez is reportedly returning to Liverpool despite being shipped off to Saudi Arabia after an unsatisfactory spell at Anfield. Now, after a year at Al Hilal, where he has reportedly been earning £400,000 per week, Nunez is returning to Liverpool.

First of all, Liverpool made at least a £7.4m loss on the transfer fee paid to Benfica, notwithstanding undisclosed bonus payments which would have likely been paid after Liverpool won the 2025 Premier League title. Well, Liverpool are in a striker deficit.

Liverpool then signed Hugo Ekitike, which means Liverpool went into the 2025-26 season lacking depth in the striker department. Nunez has spoken about missing Liverpool and the Anfield faithful, so a reunion with the Kop would likely be more meaningful than the riches he has amassed in Saudi Arabia.
