Former "Liverpool" forward Darwin Nunez has faced the repercussions of the decision to move to Saudi Arabia.

The 26-year-old Uruguayan found himself caught in a whirlwind of unpleasant events.

The "Al Hilal" club, which recently lured Frenchman Karim Benzema, decided to remove D. Nunez from the squad for the Saudi Arabian league.

This means that for the remainder of the season, the player will only be able to play in five AFC Champions League matches.

Last year, D. Nunez cost the Arabs £46 million.

This season, the forward has scored 7 goals and provided 5 assists in 22 matches.

However, at least he cannot complain about his salary – the player earns an amount equivalent to £400,000 a week.
