Yes, it's a shame that Darwin Nunez, who is still young, chose to move to the SPL. However, he certainly had compelling reasons for his departure to join Al Hilal. If I'm not mistaken, only the Arab League would be willing to pay him a large sum of money. The bottom line is that it seems the money Al Hilal offered him was the reason he decided to leave Liverpool for the SPL. However, I think his career in the Saudi Arabian League is also a good thing, as many star players have joined Saudi Arabian League teams.
In my opinion, the arrival of Darwin Nunez from Liverpool will certainly make Al Hilal stronger, and the arrival of Joao Felix to Al Nassr will certainly make Al Nassr even stronger. This will certainly make the Al Nassr rivalry even more exciting, as both Al Hilal and Al Nassr will be even stronger. This ultimately makes me want to watch the Al Hilal vs. Al Nassr match soon, but unfortunately, that match is still a long way off.
Darwin Nunez and Joao Felix have similar issues and after failing in Europe, they wanted to find a new league, new club for their new career chapters. Money is another big reason as they can receive very good wages that are better than from European clubs by playing for Saudi Arabia clubs. It's actually worthy for serious consideration and eventually they both chose Saudi Professional League as destinations.
Darwin Nunez even performed better than Joao Felix recent seasons but by choosing Saudi Professional League, I guess they want to play more regularly, with less pressure and can have better performances as their preparations for World Cup 2026. If don't have any injury, Darwin Nunez position in Uruguay team is quite solid for World Cup 2026 while Joao Felix must try more to be called for that tournament.
