Darwin Núñez Joins Al Diriyah on Season-Long Loan

Al Diriyah have completed the signing of Darwin Núñez from Al Hilal on a season-long loan, adding another major name to their squad ahead of their historic first campaign in the Saudi Pro League.

The Uruguayan striker becomes the latest high-profile arrival at the club as Al Diriyah prepare to compete in Saudi Arabia’s top flight for the first time in their history.

Núñez joins Al Diriyah after a spell with Al Hilal, bringing significant experience at the highest level of European and international football. His pace, physicality and goalscoring ability are expected to make him a key attacking option for the newly promoted side.

The move represents a major statement of ambition from Al Diriyah, who are looking to establish themselves quickly among Saudi Arabia’s elite. With Núñez now leading their attack, expectations will be high as they begin their first-ever Saudi Pro League season.

For Núñez, the loan provides an opportunity to take on a new challenge and play an important role at a club entering a historic chapter.

Al Diriyah will hope the Uruguayan can make an immediate impact and help them make their mark in Saudi Arabia’s top division.
