Darwin Gabriel Núñez Ribeiro (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈdaɾwĩn ˈnuɲes]; born 24 June 1999) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Liverpool and the Uruguay national team.
Núñez came through Peñarol's youth academy, being promoted to the first team in 2017. In August 2019, he joined Spanish Segunda División side Almería for a club record fee. Benfica signed him in 2020 for a club-record transfer worth €24 million, the most expensive signing in Portuguese football history. In his second season, he won the Bola de Prata for top scorer in the Primeira Liga with 26 goals in 28 games, being named in the Primeira Liga Team of the Year and Primeira Liga Player of the Year.
After an impressive season, Núñez attracted the interest of several European clubs, with Liverpool signing him in June 2022 for a transfer worth €75 million (£64 million).
After representing Uruguay at various youth levels, Núñez was called up to the full international side for the first time in October 2019. He scored on his international debut against Peru.
Early life
Born in Artigas, Núñez is the second and youngest child of Silvia Ribeiro, a bottle hawker and seller, and Bibiano Núñez, a construction worker. Due to poverty, on numerous occasions he and his brother would go to bed with an empty stomach or to school without eating. His great-grandparents were from Spain, before settling in North Uruguay.[4]
As a child, Núñez played for local side La Luz, before joining Peñarol's youth setup in 2013, aged 14, alongside his brother, moving to Uruguay's capital Montevideu. He suffered from homesickness and decided to quit football.[4] However, his brother convinced him to stay and decided to retire instead of him. After accessing the situation, Peñarol decided to allow him to meet his family, with the condition he would return a year later.[4]
Club career
Peñarol
Núñez first stay for Peñarol lasted only months, but he subsequently rejoined the club in 2014, and finished his formation.[5]
Núñez spent the first months of 2017 nursing a knee injury.[6] He made his first team – and Primera División – debut on 22 November 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute for Maxi Rodríguez in a 2–1 away loss against River Plate Montevideo,[7] but had another knee surgery the following month.[6]
Núñez scored his first professional goal on 13 October 2018, netting the opener in a 2–0 home defeat of Fénix.[8] On 14 July 2019, he scored a hat-trick in a 4–0 routing of Boston River.[9]
Almería
On 29 August 2019, Spanish Segunda División side Almería announced the signing of Núñez on a five-year deal,[10] for a rumoured club record fee of US$4.5 million plus $1.5 million in variables.[11] He made his debut on 3 October as a half-time substitute in 4–2 league defeat against Sporting de Gijón.[12]
On 27 October 2019, starting for the first time, Núñez scored first goal for his new club in a 3–2 home win against Extremadura with a penalty.[13] He finished his only season at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterráneos as the league's joint fourth top scorer with 16 goals, led by compatriot Cristhian Stuani.[14]
Benfica
2020–21: Adaptation to Portugal
On 4 September 2020, Núñez signed a five-year contract with Portuguese club Benfica, who paid a club record fee of €24 million for the player. This was also Almeria's and the Segunda División's biggest transfer, with the club also receiving 20% of a future transfer.[15] Eleven days later, he made his debut for the club in a 2–1 loss against PAOK for the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round replacing Pedrinho in the 65th minute of the game.[16]
With his assist in a 3–0 win over Rio Ave on 18 October, he reached five assists in his first four league games, best in the league.[17] On 22 October, he scored his first goals for the club with a hat-trick against Lech Poznań in a 4–2 away victory in a 2020–21 UEFA Europa League group stage match.[18] Four days later, he scored his first Primeira Liga goal in a 2–0 home victory over B SAD.[19]
On 3 December, after three weeks off from COVID-19,[20] he returned to action against Lech Poznań in the Europa League group stage, scoring Benfica's second goal in a 4–0 home victory.[21] He struggled over the course of the season with the effects of the virus and various injuries, and did not score for four months.[22] He scored six league goals and provided ten assists – second-best in the league – helping Benfica to a disappointing third-place finish and qualification for the Champions League third qualifying round.[23]
2021–22: Breakthrough and Bola de Prata
In May 2021, Núñez underwent surgery due to an injury on his right knee, forcing him to miss Benfica's first months of the new season.[24] He made his return from injury on 21 August, replacing Everton in the 72nd minute, in a 2–0 away victory over Gil Vicente, being booked in the process.[25] Following back-to-back braces against Santa Clara and Boavista in the Primeira Liga, he was named the league's Player of the Month and Forward of the Month for September.[26] On 29 September, he scored his first two UEFA Champions League goals in a 3–0 home victory over Barcelona, and was named man of the match.[27]
On 27 November, he scored his first hat-trick in the league as his team finished the first half at B-SAD 7–0 up, though the game was abandoned early in the second half due to insufficient players on the COVID-affected host team;[28] on 12 December he added another treble against Famalicão in a 4–1 away win, becoming the seventh player in the league to score back-to-back hat-tricks.[29] Three days later, he scored two goals in a 3–0 home win over Sporting da Covilhã to send his team into the semi-finals of the 2021–22 Taça da Liga,[30] though, while he was away on international duty for Uruguay, Benfica were defeated 2–1 by crosstown rivals Sporting CP in the final.[31]
On 27 February, Núñez scored his 20th league goal for Benfica in as many matches, in a 3–0 home victory against Vitória de Guimarães.[32] On 15 March, in the second leg of Champions League round-of-16, he scored the only goal of an away win over Ajax, securing a 3–2 aggregate win in the process.[33] On 9 April, he scored his third hat-trick of the season in a 3–1 victory against B-SAD, bringing his total goal count for the season to 31 goals.[34] He scored two goals against Liverpool in the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals: one in the first leg and the other in the second leg, while his team were eliminated 6–4 on aggregate. His sixth goal of the campaign made him Benfica's all-time top scorer in modern Champions League history, surpassing Nuno Gomes' record of five goals set in the 1998–99 season.[35]
On 17 April, he scored a goal and provided an assist to help defeat the hosts Sporting 2–0 in the Derby de Lisboa, being named man of the match.[36] In his last match for the club, on 7 May, Núñez scored a goal that was ruled out by VAR in a 1–0 home loss of O Clássico against rivals Porto, as they sealed the league title.[37] He finished the season with 26 goals in 28 league games, being awarded the Bola de Prata award as top scorer of the Primeira Liga, being named in the Team of the Year and Player of the Year.[38][39]
Liverpool
On 13 June 2022, Benfica reached an agreement with Premier League team Liverpool for the transfer of Núñez for a €75 million fee plus €25 million in add-ons.[40] The following day, the club confirmed the deal, for £64 million, with add-ons potentially increasing the fee to £85 million at a later date, which could make him Liverpool's record transfer.[41]
International career
Youth
Núñez is a former Uruguay youth international, and was part of under-20 team squad which finished third in 2019 South American U-20 Championship.[42]
Núñez also took part of the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, scoring in the opening match in a 3–1 over Norway and the opening goal in a 2–0 over New Zealand in the final group match, to help Uruguay finish top of Group C. His country was eliminated from the tournament following a 1–3 loss against Ecuador in the round of 16.[43]
Núñez was also in the under-22 team squad that finished in fourth place at 2019 Pan American Games in Peru, scoring in a 2–0 opening win over the hosts.[44]
Senior
Núñez was called up to the senior team for friendlies against Costa Rica and the United States in September 2019. He made his international debut that 16 October in a 1–1 draw away to Peru in another exhibition, replacing Brian Lozano in the 75th minute of the game and scoring five minutes later.[45]
In June 2021, Núñez was included in the final 26-man Uruguay squad for the 2021 Copa América in Brazil. Due to a right knee injury that would rule him out for two months, he missed the tournament.[46][47]
Style of play
Núñez is a right-footed player, he possesses an athletic frame, excellent acceleration and sprinting speed is the defining facet of his athletic skillset, with his explosive change of pace being capable of creating immediate separation.[48][49] He also has good awareness, he scans space and makes decisions when moving relative to the ball, space, team-mates and opponents.[48][49] Núñez is a disruptive striker with a dynamic range of mobility that can carry counter-attacks, makes incisive movements around the box, and strike the ball explosively.[48][49] He is adept at attacking open spaces and is good at generating shots from varied situations.[48][49] He is also a promising creator around the box and is also capable of playing as a left-winger.[48][49] Núñez usually opts to rely on intelligent positioning and timing of runs in between defenders, specially in attacking the space between a fullback and center-back at the backpost, often initially curving his run away from the center back before moving back infield. He often makes adjustments to his footwork to find space in the box and he also uses his body either to avoid a foul, but forcefully enough to arrive at a cross ahead of his marker.[48][49][50]
During his playing spell at Benfica, under Jorge Jesus and Nélson Veríssimo, Núñez has played in a variety of positions and systems. He played as a striker and a left inside-forward in a 4–4–2 and 3–4–3 formations, with the responsibilities in these roles, shifting on Benfica's ball possesion or counter-attacking approaches for games. His ability to drift into the box and create space was a major part of his game, while also being aided by the presence of another striker (either Haris Seferovic or Gonçalo Ramos), which enabled Núñez to vacate his wide position to take up more positions in the penalty area.[50][48][49] His playing style has led him to be compared to fellow Uruguyan forwards Edinson Cavani and Luis Suárez.[51]
Personal life
Núñez and his partner Lorena Mañas announced the birth of their first child, a son also named Darwin, in January 2022.[52]
