Rumours have intensified suggesting that Darwin Nunez could be lining up an unexpected return to Liverpool.
The Uruguayan striker left Merseyside in a high-profile move to Al-Hilal the Saudi Pro League, but reports suggest his spell in the Middle East has been cut short, leaving his agent looking for a swift route back to European football.
Nunez’s chaotic, high-intensity style perfectly aligns with the heavy-metal pressing philosophy Andoni Iraola intends to implement.
With Mo Salah leaving the club at the end of the season, Hugo Ekitike possibly ruled out for the majority of next season through injury and Alexander Isak still finding his feet after an injury-ridden first season, the prospect of re-signing Nunez represents a highly-volatile but intriguing option for sporting director Richard Hughes to consider.
