"Chelsea and Newcastle are looking like strong suitors for the Uruguay international, who is keen to return to Europe. Nunez had a mixed spell at Liverpool, so might not be every fan's cup of tea, though he did manage 25 Premier League goals in his time in England, picking up one top flight title in the process."
"Chelsea have liked Nunez for a while and still see him as someone to add spark and depth up front. It remains to be seen if CFC will go ahead and make Nunez a priority, but the interest in the 26-year-old is there, and it looks like he'll be available."
"An issue, however, is his high wage of 400,000 a week with Al Hilal, though he may be ready to accept a pay cut in order to get out of Saudi Arabia. Being available on loan, or possibly on the cheap, bumps up his score slightly."
Darwin Nunez is likely to leave Al Hilal this summer, with Chelsea and Newcastle emerging as strong contenders to sign the Uruguay international. The 26-year-old striker scored 25 Premier League goals during his time at Liverpool and won one top flight title. Multiple sources indicate Nunez is eager to return to Europe and may accept a wage reduction from his current 400,000 per week salary to facilitate a move. Chelsea view him as a potential addition to provide depth and spark in attack, though his availability on loan or at a reduced fee remains uncertain. A transfer fit analysis rates Nunez as a medium-level prospect for Chelsea, offering proven striker experience despite current poor form and approaching his late twenties.
