Back with a bang: Time is right for Darwin Nunez Liverpool return The current international window began with a bang. Darwin Nunez , 26, went off on international duty with Uruguay - declaring just how much he missed Liverpool’s fans. Now it’s fair to say the relationship between the striker and the club’s supporters was strained at times but absence makes the heart grow fonder.
“I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss the Liverpool fans. They made my family and me feel very welcome,” Darwin told AUF TV via ESPN. “During difficult times I went through personally, people always showed me that affection and support, which was very important to me.
Obviously, I miss them. ” There is a crucial context to all of this. Darwin hasn’t played a league game for Al-Hilal since the opening days of February.
After signing for the Saudi giants last summer for around £46m Nunez has since been frozen out of the domestic squad . It’s led to speculation that the former Liverpool No9 could soon be returning to Europe - admittedly with a hefty pay cut from his current reported total of £400k per week. Tottenham and Newcastle among Premier League clubs have been reported as interested.
