The Redmen TV’s Dan Clubbe says Liverpool re-signing Darwin Nunez “might work” despite sounding “crazy”.
The Uruguay striker departed for Al-Hilal for £46m last summer but was left out of the Saudi Pro League side’s squad for the second half of the season and is reportedly considering terminating his contract with the club.
The 26-year-old has been linked with a return to Anfield, especially with Hugo Ekitike sidelined with a long-term Achilles injury.
“There’s pros and cons to this one,” Clubbe told BBC Radio Merseyside.
“I do see merit in it. In terms of the work that needs to be done elsewhere in the squad, if you find yourself in a position where you don’t have loads of money left in the coffers then he is there, he is available, he knows the Premier League, and knows Liverpool.
“He has spoken about how much me missed the fans and Anfield so there is a definite upside.
“We know what he is, we know what he brings. He’s very raw, he’s all chaos, he’s definitely a willing runner. He needs to be refined a little bit and reigned in a bit at times because he can frustrate the life out of us as fans. But he’s free and Liverpool have a lot of money to spend elsewhere anyway.
“As a short-term solution to the Ekitike injury situation, I can see it working as mad as that sounds. I never thought in a million years I would be saying bring back Darwin Nunez but as cas it sounds it might work.”
