Al-Ettifaq's head of scouting, Thomas Spring, indicated that Nunez was a potential target for the club. Nunez has faced challenges in establishing himself at Liverpool, and although he was considered by Saudi Pro League dealmakers in January, no transfer materialized. Nunez is encountering difficulties in maintaining his place at Liverpool after failing to make a significant impact over the past three seasons, with teams such as Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, and Atletico Madrid monitoring his situation. It is important to note that Spring holds the position of head of scouting for Al-Ettifaq, not the entire Saudi Pro League, and it is improbable that Al-Ettifaq will sign any of the players he mentioned, as they are not among the primary PIF-backed clubs in the league.
