Saudi Silence, Turkish Tease: Is Nunez Heading to Fenerbahce?
4 February 2026
Nunez Transfer Update
Silence surrounds the Uruguayan striker's status at Al Hilal for the second half of the season.
The club has added two French forwards in the January window, Karim Benzema from Al-Ittihad and Mohammed Qader Meti from Rennes, while Nunez and Brazilian Marcus Leonardo remain in the squad.
Earlier reports claimed Fenerbahce opened talks with Al Hilal to sign Nunez before the Turkish transfer window closed on February 6.
Saudi pundit Khaled Al-Shinef asserted on a program that Nunez is 90% bound for Turkey, specifically Fenerbahce.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano denied the rumors on X, tweeting that the deal did not happen and would not be sealed this time.
Rumors aside, Nunez had moved to Al Hilal last summer from Liverpool but has not yet made a big impact, scoring 7 goals in 22 matches with 5 assists.
Punchline 1: If he ends up at Fenerbahce, that window will need to be replaced with a revolving door.
Punchline 2: In transfer sagas, patience is a virtue—mine's wearing thin as I refresh the feed.
