<\/p>\n The Spaniard, whose first season at the helm in Liverpool will be largely spent rectifying the many mistakes made by previous manager Arne Slot<\/a>, has glaring holes in his squad \u2014 but this homecoming transfer could make his life a little easier.<\/p>\n Liverpool could get Darwin Nunez back for free<\/p>\n Darwin Nunez<\/a>, signed by Jurgen Klopp during the summer of 2022 for a whopping price tag that he never quite lived up to, could see his playing days be spent at Anfield once more.<\/p>\n According to a report from TEAMtalk<\/a>, the Uruguayan has been offered to a small selection of teams as a free agent, with Liverpool being firmly at the table.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n \n Darwin Nunez was the ultimate marmite player at Liverpool. (Image credit: Getty Images)<\/p>\n Nunez, whose Liverpool career is often remembered as being distinctly underwhelming despite its Premier League title-winning end, recently made the move to the Saudi Pro League<\/a>.<\/p>\n Joining Al-Hilal<\/a> at the start of the 2025\/26 campaign, the 26-year-old scored nine times in 24 appearances before being cut from the squad courtesy of the country\u2019s foreign player limits.<\/p>\n His final game played for the Saudi giants came in February, scoring twice in a 2-1 AFC Champions League Elite victory over Al-Wahda, and the ex-Reds man\u2019s contract with Al-Hilal has now been mutually terminated.<\/p>\n Nunez is now assessing his options ahead of a summer move, with Benfica being one notable club expected to challenge Liverpool in seeing the Uruguayan return.<\/p>\n The report also states that there are whispers in Spain over the 26-year-old already having green-lit a move back to Anfield, where he would arrive as a free agent at no transfer cost.<\/p>\n What to read next<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Liverpool fans won\u2019t be shocked to learn that Nunez\u2019s famed finishing did not improve overseas, scoring six league goals from a huge 11.48xG.<\/p>\n Under Jurgen Klopp, who gave the Uruguayan the vast majority of his starts in a Liverpool shirt, Nunez paired 11 league goals with 27 Big Chances Missed in the 2023\/24 Premier League<\/a> season, and nine goals with 20 Big Chances Missed in his debut campaign.<\/p>\n With Iraola facing a significant lack of attacking depth heading into his first season at the helm, a homecoming for the 26-year-old could provide great value.<\/p>\n \n The 26-year-old’s finishing failed to improve overseas, but that won’t be why Liverpool choose to sign him, if they do.
