Darwin Núñez: “I need more money” as Liverpool Star Laughs Off Saudi Transfer Links | OneFootball

Laughter and Loyalty: Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz Share Candid Moments in Pro:Direct Soccer’s “Teammates”

Liverpool stars Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz recently took centre stage in Pro:Direct Soccer’s light-hearted series Teammates, giving fans a rare glimpse into their off-the-pitch camaraderie. The absence of a translator brought out some hilarious language barriers, but that only added to the charm. As both players poked fun at each other and their Liverpool teammates, a few memorable moments stood out—particularly Núñez’s playful remarks about money and transfers.

Darwin Núñez Jokes About Moving to Saudi for More Money

The video’s most talked-about moment came when Darwin Núñez, grinning from ear to ear, joked about needing a pay rise. After mentioning his Lamborghini collection and laughing about his spending habits, Núñez quipped, “Money, money, big money… I need more money!” His lighthearted tone hinted at the constant rumours surrounding players making big-money moves to leagues like Saudi Arabia. When asked about his car situation, he doubled down on the humour, saying, “What car here? I need more money!” before laughing along with Díaz and the hosts.

This wasn’t just banter; it reflected the current football landscape where players are frequently linked to lucrative moves abroad. But Núñez’s relaxed, joking manner suggested that, for now, his heart—and his cars—remain firmly in Liverpool.

Luis Díaz: The Quiet Neighbour and Skillful Teammate

While Núñez stole the show with his humour, Luis Díaz brought his own subtle charm to the episode. When asked about the most skillful player in the team, Díaz confidently pointed to himself, with Núñez nodding in agreement: “Lucho, yes, good… very skillful.” But their friendship goes beyond the pitch. Díaz revealed that he and Núñez are neighbours, though he cheekily mentioned that Díaz isn’t exactly the most sociable: “Lucho plays football in the garden and doesn’t invite you… house off limits, nobody comes!”

Despite the jokes about Díaz’s closed-door policy, it’s clear the duo share a strong bond, both on and off the pitch. Their chemistry is something Liverpool fans will hope continues to flourish under new manager Arne Slot.

Scousers, Style and Showers: The Duo Take On Their Teammates

The Teammates episode wasn’t just about Núñez and Díaz; it was also an opportunity for them to roast the rest of their Liverpool squad. When asked who had the worst fashion sense, Núñez didn’t hesitate: “Endo, Endo’s bad, yeah… terrible!” The laughter continued when they debated who drove the best car, with Núñez proudly showing off his Lamborghini while Díaz opted for a more understated Audi Q8: “Proper car that.”

One of the funniest exchanges came when they were asked who takes the longest in the shower. Both pointed to a teammate, joking, “Long time, yeah… hair, makeup, shampoo, he does it all!” The playful digs showed the close-knit nature of the Liverpool squad, even in the absence of Jurgen Klopp, who left the club in May 2024.

New Era Under Arne Slot, But The Same Liverpool Spirit

With Klopp’s departure and Arne Slot at the helm, Liverpool is in a transitional phase. However, episodes like this highlight the enduring camaraderie among the players. Núñez and Díaz’s antics reflect a squad that’s not only competitive but also deeply connected. Whether it’s Núñez joking about “big money” or Díaz quietly dominating on the pitch, their personalities shine through—and so does their commitment to Liverpool.

This candid interview gives fans more than just laughs; it’s a reminder of the human side of football. As Liverpool pushes forward in the Premier League and beyond, the dynamic between players like Núñez and Díaz will be crucial both on and off the field.
