Darwin Nunez could be set for a reunion with former Liverpool team-mate Mohamed Salah at Turkish club Trabzonspor, potentially ending his difficult spell in Saudi Arabia.
Agreement with Salah
Trabzonspor recently reached an agreement to sign Salah on a free transfer. The Egyptian opted to stay in Europe despite speculation he would follow Nunez to Saudi. The club confirmed negotiations, with Salah travelling to Turkey and expected to sign a two-year contract.
Pressure for Nunez
Reports from Spor Depor claim Trabzonspor 'has increased its pressure regarding Nunez'. The Uruguayan has had a tough 12 months since leaving Liverpool for Al Hilal, featuring in just 24 Saudi Pro League matches, with none between February and May due to ineligibility.
This lack of match fitness contributed to Uruguay's group-stage exit at the World Cup. The 27-year-old now faces a pivotal moment, with Besiktas also a possible destination after their talks over Salah.
Liverpool's focus
Rumours of a Liverpool return were quickly dismissed, as Andoni Iraola's side focus on wingers. They missed out on Yan Diomande, who joined Paris Saint-Germain, and now target Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye amid PSG's other moves.
