Darwin N\u00fa\u00f1ez has not secured a deal with Besiktas or Trabzonspor, despite earlier speculation about a transfer to either Turkish club involving the forward from Al Hilal.<\/p>\n

Sources indicate that N\u00fa\u00f1ez did not have any travel arrangements, as the Uruguayan international was still weighing his options in both Saudi Arabia and Europe.<\/p>\n

The forward is now on the brink of a transfer to Al Diriyah from Al Hilal, with discussions progressing towards a conclusion.<\/p>\n

This development concludes the rumors of a potential partnership with former Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah at Trabzonspor, where Salah has already transitioned from the Premier League to the Turkish club.<\/p>\n

Softfootball<\/a> previously noted that N\u00fa\u00f1ez was a candidate for a move to Trabzonspor,<\/a> with various reports suggesting that the Turkish team was looking into the possibility of reuniting the former Liverpool players.<\/p>\n

N\u00fa\u00f1ez transferred to Al Hilal from Liverpool on 9 August 2025 for a fee of \u20ac53 million, excluding any bonuses.<\/p>\n

He now seems poised for another transition, with Al Diriyah emerging as the most likely next stop as negotiations near their conclusion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
