Inzaghi's €53m Darwin Nunez gamble backfires at Al-Hilal

goal.com

Al-Hilal face a transfer crisis after Simone Inzaghi's €53 million bet on Darwin Nunez backfired, with the underperforming striker dropped from the domestic squad after six months. Nunez arrived from Liverpool for €53m, replacing Aleksandar Mitrovic and pushing out Marcos Leonardo. In 16 matches he scored 6 goals and 4 assists, with a 15% conversion rate and 8 clear chances wasted. The club tried to sell or loan Nunez, but negotiations stalled over his huge salary and valuation. The failed gamble leaves Al-Hilal paying for Inzaghi's conviction.
