In a stunning twist, Darwin Núñez’s £85 million transfer from Liverpool to Al Nassr has collapsed — and the reason has left fans in disbelief.
Reports indicate that Núñez mistakenly boarded a flight to South Africa instead of Saudi Arabia, where he was due to undergo his medical with Al Nassr. Due to a mix-up at the airport, the striker believed he was en route to Riyadh but ended up landing in Johannesburg.
This unexpected detour caused him to miss the scheduled medical, prompting Al Nassr to withdraw from the deal — at least for now.
“It was a logistical disaster,” an insider shared. “The club was shocked, and Darwin couldn’t believe it when he landed.”
The breakdown of the transfer now places Liverpool in a tricky situation. Núñez’s future is unclear, and fans are baffled by how such a costly administrative error could sabotage a major deal.
Can the transfer be salvaged? It’s possible. But for now, Darwin remains a Liverpool player, and this unbelievable episode becomes part of transfer window legend.
