Raised in Artigas in poverty, Nunez began at Penarol before a move to Spain's Almeria and then Benfica, where a prolific 2021-22 season earned a club-record transfer to Liverpool. Powerful, fast and direct, he became a cult figure at Anfield before moving to Saudi side Al Hilal in 2025. He is Uruguay's lead striker and record-chasing focal point in attack for 2026.
- Was once Liverpool's record signing
- Grew up in the northern city of Artigas
- Uruguay's first-choice number nine
