In 2019, Nunez joined Spanish second division club Almeria and scored 16 goals in 30 appearances. He finished his only season at that club as the league’s fourth-highest goal-scorer.
In September 2020, Benfica paid €24m to get Nunez on board at the Portuguese club. He scored six league goals and provided ten assists – second-best in the league – helping Benfica to a third-place finish and qualification for the Champions League third qualifying round in his first season with Benfica.
He broke through during his second season with Benfica. He played wonderfully in the UEFA Champions League. He scored two goals against Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the competition: one in the first leg and the other in the second leg, while his team were eliminated 6–4 on aggregate.

The following match, he was sent off for violent conduct in a 1–1 home draw against Crystal Palace, having headbutted opponent Joachim Andersen. What followed was a topsy-turvy campaign for Liverpool with Darwin finding himself in the middle of too many missed opportunities. In 42 appearances across all competitions in his debut season for the Reds, he scored 15 goals and secured four assists.
However, the 2023-24 campaign got off to a good start for Darwin personally, as he came off the bench against Newcastle United to score two goals late in the game to hand 10-man Liverpool a win against a strong opposition.
