A stunning transfer rumor has emerged from Argentina: according to DSports Radio, Darwin Núñez has been offered to River Plate to play in the upcoming Club World Cup. The 25-year-old Uruguayan striker, currently at Liverpool, would be open to a surprising short-term move back to South America.
Despite still having plenty of years ahead in European football, Núñez could be eyeing a unique opportunity to join River Plate for the newly expanded Club World Cup 2025, where the Argentine giants are already qualified as one of CONMEBOL's representatives.
Núñez’s representatives have reportedly made the offer to River’s board, who are now evaluating whether to pursue the blockbuster deal. The idea would be a temporary loan just for the tournament, giving River a massive attacking boost on the global stage. The news has already sparked huge excitement among River Plate fans.
Bringing in Núñez would be a statement of intent from River Plate, showing their ambition to compete with the world's best clubs. His arrival could dramatically strengthen Martín Demichelis’s squad ahead of a competition that promises to be more competitive than ever.
From Núñez’s perspective, a move to River could also serve as a reset after a challenging season in the Premier League. The Club World Cup might offer him a new platform to showcase his talent and reignite interest from top clubs — or even secure a longer-term stay in South America.
While there’s nothing confirmed yet, the possibility of Darwin Núñez playing at the Monumental in River’s colors is already generating buzz — and fans can’t help but dream.
