Overview
- Al‑Hilal left Núñez out of their Saudi Pro League squad after Karim Benzema’s arrival under foreign‑player limits, prompting renewed exit speculation.
- Chelsea, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are reported to be monitoring him for the summer window, with Atlético Madrid and Juventus also linked.
- Reports place his current wages at about £400,000 per week, so a Premier League move would likely require a significant pay cut.
- He is contracted to Al‑Hilal until 2028, making any transfer dependent on negotiation over fee and terms rather than a bargain exit.
- Núñez has produced nine goals and five assists in 24 appearances this season, sustaining interest despite reduced domestic opportunities.
