Liverpool will finally discharge Darwin Nunez, while Saudi side Al-Hilal comes forward with an offer while the Uruguayan is preparing for a medical for his Anfield exit
Darwin Nunez is about to complete a move to Saudi side Al-Hilal from Liverpool. The Uruguay striker, 26, goes to Germany, where the Saudi Pro League outfit is currently training and undergoing a medical once the conditions are all completed.
Simeone Inzaghi's al-Hilal has defeated AC Milan to his signature while closing a deal with a first £ 46 million but far above £ 50 million.
NUNEZ will earn around £ 400,000 a week in the PIF-Stunder Club. The departure of Nunez will probably see Liverpool push ahead with their plans to sign another attacker with Newcastle striker Alexander Isak their top goal.
They have agreed to spend up to £ 79 million on Hugo Ekitike, but he can play three in different positions at the front while Nunez Luis Diaz follows the door. The Reds also lost tragic Diogo Jota, who died last month in a car accident.
Al-Nassr tried to sign Nunez at the end of the January window, but Liverpool would not sell during the season because they chased Glory in the Premier League and Champions League.
In the summer of 2022, Liverpool voted £ 85 million on Nunez in a deal. It was a first £ 65 million and the player did not activate all add-ons from the deal with Benfica.
Jurgen Klopp wanted to sign Nunez in 2022 after he was impressed by the club for the Portuguese side in the Champions League and they defeated Manchester United to his signature.
But he did not succeed in being a clinical finisher in the Premier League and Arne Slot could not unlock his potential with only seven goals last season. Harvey Elliott, who is being chased by RB Leipzig and Federico Chiesa, is also expected to leave with Nunez this summer.
The Reds have already sold Jarell Quansah, Caiomhin Kelleher, Tyler Morton, Diaz and Nat Phillips while they received £ 8 million to have Trent Alexander-Arnold added to Real Madrid a month before his contract went to increase more than £ 150 million.
