Chelsea and Newcastle Interested in Darwin Nunez
On March 4th, 2026, Chelsea and Newcastle United have both expressed an interest in acquiring Darwin Nunez, a former Liverpool forward.
Nunez is eager to depart from Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal this summer due to limited playing time. The prospect of returning to the Premier League with either Chelsea or Newcastle is an intriguing one for the player.
Potential European Move for Nunez
Reports from TMW indicate that several clubs in Italy are also keeping an eye on Nunez’s situation. At 26 years of age and in the prime of his career, he could provide significant value to many teams.
While his goal-scoring record in the Premier League wasn’t stellar, his effectiveness in the final third was notable. Nunez is known for his hardworking nature, creating opportunities for teammates while contributing to the game through high pressing.
Nunez Could Make Quick Impact in Premier League
Familiar with the Premier League, Nunez could quickly adapt and make an impact, having won the league title with Liverpool the previous season. Joining either Chelsea, one of the country’s biggest clubs, could present him with the chance to consistently compete at a high level. Alternatively, Newcastle, with its ambitious project and financial backing, also represents an exciting opportunity.
The striker is anticipated to seek a team where he can be a regular starter, and given his current circumstances at Al-Hilal, he might be accessible for a reasonable transfer fee. It remains to be seen which Premier League team will succeed in securing his services, or if he might explore options in Italy as well.
