Darwin Núñez, the Uruguayan striker, has run out of patience and is reportedly set to cancel his contract with Al Hilal for one main reason linked to two Premier League teams.
On 11 May 2026, Darwin Núñez, the Uruguayan forward, is reported to be preparing to cancel his contract with Al Hilal, a club in the Saudi Arabian league. The main reason is losing his starting position to the experienced French striker Karim Benzema, with links to two English Premier League teams.
It is understood that Darwin Núñez bid farewell to Liverpool, known as the Reds, to join Al Hilal after playing a key role in helping the team win the Premier League in the 2024-25 season. However, since joining, he has not performed as expected, and the situation worsened following the arrival of Karim Benzema.
The latest reports indicate that Darwin Núñez is preparing to terminate his contract with Al Hilal by mutual agreement. Two Premier League clubs, Tottenham Hotspur (the Spurs) and Newcastle United (the Magpies), have shown interest in bringing him back to the English league.
