Darwin Nunez chooses Al-Durayhiyah over Turkish move: Romano
Fabrizio Romano says Darwin Nunez will join Al-Durayhiyah, despite speculation about a possible reunion with Mohamed Salah in Turkey.
Darwin Nunez is set to join Al-Durayhiyah, a newly promoted club in the Roshn Saudi League, according to transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Uruguayan striker has opted for the Saudi club despite rumors of a potential return to Turkey, where he could have reunited with Mohamed Salah. Romano reported that a verbal agreement has been reached between Al-Durayhiyah and Al-Hilal, who are loaning Nunez until June 2027.
During this period, his full salary will be covered, although there is no option for the club to purchase him permanently. Contracts have not yet been signed, but a medical is scheduled for Nunez. Rumors suggested that Nunez had been linked with a move to Trabzonspor, which would have seen him return to the Turkish league and potentially play alongside Salah again after their time together at Liverpool.
