Overview
- Al‑Hilal excluded Núñez from their Saudi Pro League squad following Karim Benzema’s arrival under foreign‑player limits, leaving him eligible only for the AFC Champions League.
- Tottenham and Newcastle have been flagged as leading Premier League suitors after contacts through intermediaries, according to TEAMtalk.
- Fabrizio Romano characterizes a summer move as a real possibility and expects activity around Núñez in the coming months.
- Núñez is understood to earn about £400,000 per week in Saudi Arabia, which makes a substantial wage reduction a likely condition for a European return.
- The striker’s recent output stands at nine goals in 24 games for Al‑Hilal, with 40 in 143 for Liverpool providing broader context for interested clubs.
