Returning to an old league but not the same team, "Darwin Núñez" is set to chase goals in the Premier League once again, with "Chelsea" eyeing him to bolster their frontline.
On 9 Mar 2026 GMT+7, returning to a familiar league but not the same club, Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez is reportedly poised to return to the Premier League, a league he knows well, following rumors that the "Blues" Chelsea are keen to sign him to strengthen their attack this summer.
The Stamford Bridge giants are considering acquiring the 26-year-old former "Reds" Liverpool striker. This move seems possible since Darwin Núñez is said to be unhappy with his situation at Al Hilal, and returning to the Premier League again appears to be a good option, even if it means accepting a significant wage cut.
Darwin Núñez played for the "Reds" Liverpool for three seasons from 2022 to 2025, featuring in 143 matches across all competitions and scoring 40 goals. He won one Premier League title, one Carabao Cup, and one Community Shield before transferring to Al Hilal, a Saudi Arabian league club, in August 2025.
