Darwin Nunes ushered in new changes in his career

, ups and downs, championships and complex feelings. Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunes left Liverpool for the Saudi league after spending three seasons in England. During these three seasons, he has performed well and is sometimes caught in doubt.

Liverpool and Saudi clubs announced the deal almost simultaneously, with transfer fees of about $61 million.

26-year-old Nunez joined Anfield in the summer of 2022 after he performed well with Portugal's Benfica, especially in the two-leg match against Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-finals. The two rounds of competition made then Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp determined to sign the Uruguayan to replace Senegalese striker Sadio Mane who had just joined Bayern Munich.

Mane's huge influence, and the 85 million euros (US$99 million) paid for the Uruguay national forward, both mountains have been pressing on the shoulders of the player from Artigas, Uruguay.

His debut as the Reds was in the Community Shield (3-1 win) against Manchester City in the Community Shield (Super Cup England).

After the substitute, Nunes scored the team's third goal, a promising start, but in the second round of the Premier League, he was sent off by a red card for hitting the opponent's defender with his head, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

This suspension has suspended Nunes for three games, seriously hindering his adaptation process in England. In his first season, he scored 15 goals in 42 games.

Nuñez's best-performing season was in the 2023-2024 season, scoring 18 goals in 54 appearances and contributing 1 goal and 3 assists in the League Cup win, where he made five appearances.

Nuñez's playing time has been reduced under Dutchman Slot, scoring seven goals in 47 games in his last season as a Liverpool player.

Although these numbers are somewhat unsatisfactory compared to his outstanding performance in the Portuguese League, Nunez also left many exciting moments as a Reds player, such as goals in multiple stoppage time.

This year, on the road to the Premier League title, the Uruguayan saved two crucial wins for the team after 90 minutes: a header to defeat Nottingham Forest in the 90+9 minute and a quick two goals in the 90+1 and 90+3 minute against Brentford.

The Uruguayan left many memorable performances... There are also some moments of hope to be forgotten, such as losing a penalty in the penalty shootout against Paris Saint-Germain last season in the Champions League quarter-finals, resulting in Liverpool being eliminated.

"You are an important part of success"

"No one will forget the important role you play in the Premier League we have won." defender Ibrahima Conat wrote on social media.

"Good luck, brother. You are an important part of our team's success." England midfielder Curtis Jones posted on the same social media, while Harvey Elliott called him "absolute legend".

His future is pending after winning the Premier League title, but Liverpool's moves in the transfer market, including the introduction of forwards Florian Werz and Hugo Ekitic, and a strong interest in Swede Alexander Isak, seem to be pushing Nunez to leave.

Ultimately, Nunez's destination was Saudi Arabia.

Where there, the one waiting for him was Italian coach Inzaghi, who was once the head coach of Inter Milan and also led Inter Milan to win the second place in the Champions League twice.

Nunes will become teammates with Portugal international Ruben Neves, Joao Cancelo, Moroccan goalkeeper Yasin Bunu, Senegal captain Kalidu Kulibali and Serbian midfielder Sergei Milinkovic Savic.

Nuñez's departure will allow Liverpool to recover a portion of the $360 million spent in this transfer window after Liverpool had already received $81 million by transferring Colombia striker Louis Dias to Bayern Munich.
