Speculation is mounting about the future of Uruguayan Darwin Núñez with Al Hilal, amid increasing European interest in bringing him back to the old continent in the near future.

Nunez is now facing an uncertain future within the Saudi club, with increasing reports suggesting the possibility of his departure and a potential return to European football soon.

The Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur mentioned on his account on the "X" platform that Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester United are potential destinations for the Uruguayan striker if he leaves Al Hilal.

Nunez was excluded from Al-Hilal's local roster after the number of foreign players was completed, following the registration of French striker Karim Benzema during the last winter transfer window.

The coaching staff relies on Núñez exclusively for the AFC Champions League for the elite, while he misses the Saudi Professional League matches due to not being registered locally.

Nunez, aged 26, joined Al-Hilal last summer from Liverpool with a contract extending until June 2028. He participated in 24 matches, during which he scored 9 goals and made 5 assists.
