rr Inspirational Odyssey: Darwin Nunez’s Remarkable Journey from Childhood Struggles with No Food and Shelter to Landing a ‘Golden Contract’ with Liverpool.
Exclusive: Before joining Liverpool, Darwin Nunez, one of the most exciting strikers in international Football, was nurtured in a challenging environment in Uruguay.
Darwin Nunez, a big £85 million addition to Liverpool, has already fulfilled his life’s dream.
When the 22-year-old Uruguayan striker was playing Football with his pals in the streets of Artigas, a city in the northeast of the country close to the Brazilian border, he used to dream of being good enough to one day buy his parents a new house.
Nunez lived in a small house on the Cuareim River’s flood plain with his parents, dad Bibiano, mother Silvia Ribeiro, and older brother Junior. As a result, the few furnishings they did have would regularly wash away.

Nunez has always believed that helping those who sacrificed everything to help him escape the poverty he was born into is his mission in life. “I never forget where I come from,” says Nunez. “My family is industrious and modest. My father would work eight or nine hours a day as a labourer on a building site, and even when his shoes fell off, he would still try to find money to buy me Football boots.

“My mum worked at home. She did, however, walk the streets of the town collecting empty bottles to resell to the stores. Our house in Artigas was never in great condition because of the regular flooding. My initial plan, when I initially started playing football, was to launch a company and buy my parents a home. That was my goal. Since my parents gave me everything, I’ve continued to work hard to earn their respect. It seems like I’m paying them back for all of their encouragement and affection.

“The love of a father is special,” Nunez went on. My father taught me that material possessions are not everything in life. Yes, I often slept with my stomach empty. But my mother slept with the emptyest stomach of anyone in the house. A mother gives her children her whole life. My mother often went to bed at night without eating because she wanted to feed the rest of us.
“I am proud of my origins even though I grew up in a low-income neighbourhood. There, I realised how important communication is. I used to bring candy or snacks with my friends so that we could share them when we got together. I used to get up early to go to school because they used to give us food. When I got out of school at 3 p.m., I would go straight to training because my mother wasn’t home. She was walking around collecting bottles.
Nunez, at 14 years old, travelled 370 kilometres to attend the club’s academy in Montevideo after being seen by a Penarol scout. Brother Junior, who was also being supervised by Penarol, had just started working out with the first team when he was forced to put his budding career on hold in order to return to Artigas for help with a family emergency. Junior refused to take his sister with him, instead convincing the child to follow their dreams together. Nunez’s ascent to the top was not an easy one. He made his senior debut despite discomfort, but at sixteen, he needed surgery once more to fix damage to his knee ligaments. “I gritted my teeth to play even though my knee hurt,” he recollects. The athlete claimed, “I was crying when I left the pitch at the end of the game, but the doctors said it was all in my head.” My patella needed to be operated on this time. There was a great deal of agony again.

Nunez moved to Europe in 2014 and inked a deal with Almeria, a Spanish team. Portuguese powerhouse Benfica paid £20.5 million to sign him a season later. After spending an additional £25 million in add-ons, he ended up costing Liverpool £64.2 million, making him their record signing. But doubts have often haunted his rapid rise to prominence. Nunez had to seek psychological therapy since he was the target of social media trolls during the Uruguayan national team’s participation in the Under-20 World Cup in Poland.
“I used to browse the (social media) networks frequently, but I started to see offensive remarks,” he explained. They really did make me sick. The criticism was getting to me, and I needed to talk to the national team psychologist, Axel Ocampo. He really helped me out, but it was a simple fix. I no longer use the changing room as a place to check my phone for comments from others about me. Right after Games, I spoke to my loved ones on my phone. I will only focus on those who have offered assistance.
