Darwin Nunez headlines star-studded triple transfer at ambitious Diriyah
Roshn Saudi League new boys Diriyah Club made a real splash in the transfer market on Saturday night when they announced the arrival of Darwin Nunez, Enzo Millot and Adil Boulbina.
The promoted club, competing in the Saudi top flight for the first time, have signed Nunez and Millot on loan, from Al Hilal and Al Ahli respectively, while Boulbina joins on a permanent deal from Al Duhail in Qatar.
Nunez, 27, will be seeking to truly spark his RSL career after a season spent at Al Hilal following his high-profile move from English Premier League giants Liverpool.
The Uruguay international, who featured at this summer’s 2026 FIFA World Cup, made 24 appearances for Al Hilal across all competitions, scoring nine goals and recording five assists.
Nunez will now join forces in a new-look Diriyah attack alongside Millot, who makes the move across the Kingdom having played 40 times for Al Ahli last season.
The 24-year-old former Stuttgart midfielder scored nine goals and registered seven assists and was part of the Al Ahli side who lifted both the Saudi Super Cup and the AFC Champions League Elite.
Completing the triple swoop, Boulbina has joined from Al Duhail after a season in which the winger registered 20 goal contributions in 32 games, including finding the net 13 times. Boulbina, 23, was part of Algeria’s squad at the summer World Cup.
Managed now by former Wolverhampton Wanderers and Benfica manager Bruno Lage, Diriyah opened their 2026-27 RSL campaign with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Al Ahli but rebounded on Friday with a 1-0 victory at Al Hazem.
