Former Liverpool favorite Vladimir Smicer has tipped Darwin Nunez to return to the Premier League later in his career, despite the Uruguayan ultimately failing to make the grade at Liverpool. The riches on offer to Nunez in Saudi Arabia are a huge reason behind every player's decision to move there, but having only turned 26 in June, Nunez is young enough that he could line his pockets there for a couple of seasons before returning to a top European league at some point down the line.

"I think that football in Saudi Arabia… I only know the financial aspect is very interesting, very attractive, and a lot of players are playing there but some players don't like the environment of the football there, or the atmosphere at the stadiums, which are different to the Premier League. Vladimir Smicer has spoken about Nunez's career (Image: 2023 UEFA) “I can see Darwin Nunez coming back one day to the Premier League, and I would be happy to see that because he was a special player, he always gave 100 percent.

I was always behind him, but he did make me quite nervous.” Despite his struggles in front of goal for Liverpool, he remained a favorite among supporters up until his departure in August. That fondness was reciprocated in Nunez's farewell message, as he wrote: “I leave with a full heart, thanks to the love of a crowd that never let me down and always had my back - through the highs and through the lows.
