Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez is set to join Diriyah Club in the Saudi Pro League on loan from Al Hilal. A verbal agreement has been reached between the two Saudi clubs for a loan deal lasting until June 2027. 

The agreement reportedly covers the player's salary but does not include a purchase option clause. Medical examinations are being organized to finalize the move. Núñez, who moved from Liverpool to Al Hilal in 2025, reportedly struggled to maintain a permanent place in the squad following the arrival of Karim Benzema due to restrictions on the number of foreign players clubs can register.
