The situation of Uruguayan Darwin Núñez, the Al-Hilal striker, is under close observation by several clubs in the English Premier League, amid possibilities of his return to England during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Núñez, 26, joined Al-Hilal from Liverpool last summer for around £46 million. However, his career with "The Leader" saw a noticeable decline after 24 matches in which he scored only 9 goals.

The player's situation became more complicated after Al-Hilal signed French player Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad, as his arrival led to Nunez being excluded from the league roster due to the number of foreign players. This means he will not be able to participate in the competition this season, which is a significant blow ahead of the World Cup finals.

TEAMtalk reported that Núñez was surprised by the decision and has started seriously considering his future, given the interest from several clubs, most notably Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, along with previous interest from Atlético Madrid and Juventus, which could pave the way for a potential return to European football soon.
