Darwin Nunez has already come from the stamp for Al -Hilal -only 24 hours after his move to the Saudi Pro competition side was officially confirmed.
Mail Sport reported this week that the Premier League champions agreed a £ 53 million deal to sell the Uruguay International, who made it clear to Liverpool officials earlier in the summer that he saw his future from Anfield.
The Reds have released an official statement that confirms the Nunez exit on Saturday and he has not taken any time to settle in his new environment.
The Uruguayan was mentioned on the couch for the friendly side of his new side against FC Aarau on Sunday.
Nunez was brought in during the break with his side a comfortable 3-0 lead.
And it wasn't long before the striker had an impact when he completed the 6-0 routine in the 87th minute.
The 26-year-old ran to a ball of the right canal and shot along the keeper on his nearby post.
The striker only made eight starts in the Premier League in 2024-25 and only one this calendar year, while he fell to the bottom of the pecking order of Arne Slot.
Nunez had asked to leave Liverpool in January when he was again interested in Saudi Aarabia, but they made the decision to hold him for the rest of the campaign, so that he could play a role in the successful title follow -up.
Liverpool had received an offer from Napoli for Nunez in June, but it was immediately rejected because the Italian champions proposed a fee of just over £ 45 million that would be paid in installments – that would not start until the summer of 2026.
The statement of the Reds reads: 'Liverpool FC can confirm that Darwin Nunez has completed a permanent transfer to al-Hilal, subject to international approval.
'The three-year spell of the Uruguayan with the Reds is closed after he has completed a switch to the Saudi Pro League side today.
'Nunez leaves Anfield has made 143 performances and scored 40 goals, collecting Premier League and Carabao Cup winner's medals on the way.
'The striker arrived in Benfica's club in the summer of 2022 and scored on his competitive debut to help Jürgen Klopp's team to lift the FA Community Shield with victory against Manchester City.
'In his first season as a Liverpool player, he saw him standing 15 times on the score sheet of 42 outings in all competitions and called the standard chartered player of the month twice.
'Nunez improved his migration of goals in the next campaign by producing 18 – two of the bank in Newcastle United to complete a remarkable late change in the first weeks.
'The term 2024-25 turned out to be his last with the Reds, and he would complete his career on Merseyside by raising the Premier League trophy.
'Nunez's pair of stop-time finishes to get rid of the victory in Brentford in January was an undoubtedly essential moment and highlight of the historic season.
“Everyone at the club wants to thank Darwin for his contributions and wish him and his family the very best for the future.”
Liverpool spent £ 85 million on Nunez to break him out of Benfica in 2022, but he eventually had trouble fulfilling the price tag.
The frontman scored 40 goals in 143 performances since the landing in England.
