When a Legend Speaks: Nunez’s Future at Al Hilal Could Cost Titles
1 January 2026
Warning from a Hilal Legend
Mohammed Al-Deayea, the legendary Al Hilal goalkeeper, warned that keeping Darwin Nunez with the club in the near future could backfire.
In comments on the program Dawrena Ghair, he said Nunez's scoring rate is very low, and his stay with the team would cost the capital club its titles.
Al-Deayea added that Nunez has stayed out due to injuries for long spells, forcing Al Hilal to rely on Brazilian Marcus Leonardo alone.
Injury woes and winter reinforcements
Then he added, therefore the leader must bolster its ranks with a new striker in winter, and I echo the fans: the club needs a striker to replace Nunez.
Al-Deayea also noted that Simone Inzaghi wants to introduce a new approach, but he lacks a commanding defensive leader, and if he implements it, the leader could sweep all the titles.
PUNCHLINE: If they sign a new striker, maybe the trophy will finally smile.
Punchline 2: In football, the ball is round and so is the season's drama.
