Darwin Núñez, a 27-year-old Uruguayan forward, has decided that he wants to sign for Trabzonspor in this summer transfer window. According to information from Turkey by Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, there is still no agreement between the Turkish club and Al-Hilal, but the player is already pressuring the Saudi club to facilitate his departure.

Darwin Núñez changes the course of his future

This situation represents a shift compared to the options that had emerged in recent weeks. Trabzonspor has intensified its efforts to acquire Núñez, while Al-Hilal still needs to accept the terms set by the Turkish side.

The current scenario positions Núñez himself as a key piece in the negotiation. The Uruguayan wants to play in Turkey and is trying to persuade Al-Hilal to unlock a deal that is not yet finalized, despite the player already having made a decision about his next destination.

The departure also stems from the sporting situation Núñez experienced in Saudi Arabia. After the arrival of Karim Benzema, the forward was left out of Al-Hilal's league registration due to restrictions on foreign players, only maintaining opportunities to participate in the Asian Champions League.

Núñez joined Al-Hilal in August 2025 from Liverpool in a deal worth around £46.3 million. With the English club, he played 143 matches and scored 40 goals before moving to Saudi Arabia.

Trabzonspor aims to reunite Darwin Núñez with Mohamed Salah

The Trabzonspor's project has gained prominence during this transfer window with the signing of Mohamed Salah, who left Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season. The Egyptian ended his time at Anfield after nine seasons and 257 goals with the club.

Núñez's potential arrival would allow Trabzonspor to reunite two players who shared a dressing room at Liverpool. The Turkish club is already working to bring in the Uruguayan, and recent reports suggest that the forward's desire could be decisive.

Trabzonspor's interest comes after Núñez was also linked to other destinations. In July, Besiktas was looking into a possible signing, and Atlanta United was in talks for the forward, whose contract with Al-Hilal runs until 2028.

Barcelona, an option losing strength

Barcelona also surfaced in discussions about Núñez's future this summer. At the end of May, his name was linked to the Blaugrana as a potential market alternative, although there is currently no advanced negotiation competing with the Turkish pathway.

Now, the focus is on Trabzonspor. Núñez's priority is to leave Al-Hilal and play in Turkey, while the agreement between the clubs remains the pending point to complete the move.

The next step will depend on Al-Hilal. If the Saudi club accepts the economic terms proposed by Trabzonspor, the pressure exerted by Darwin Núñez could hasten the deal and make the forward one of the key movements in Turkish football in this final stage of the market.
