Darwin Nunez left Liverpool a year ago, but he would be open to returning to the Reds, according to Mundo Deportivo.His switch to Saudi Arabia hasn't worked out, and Nunez could now cut his stay in the Middle East short. His contract could be canceled with Al Hilal having dropped him from its roster earlier in the calendar year when it signed Karim Benzema.Chelsea, Barcelona and Newcastle are all said to be keen, but Nunez is said to want to return to Liverpool.
