Darwin Nunez is on the verge of becoming new Al-Hilal striker, after the club reached a verbal agreement with Liverpool for his service, Softfootball reports.
The Uruguayan is surplus to requirement at Liverpool after the club signed Hugo Ekitike from Bundesliga outfit, Frankfurt and strong linked to Newcastle United forward, Alexander Isak.
Speaking via his official X handle , football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano claims that the deal is closer than ever. It just remains small details to be finalised.
Fabrizio revealed:
The personal terms should not be a problem to agree for Nunez and Al-Hilal . The completion of the deal would be a huge win for Saudi Arabian football.
Nunez netted five times last season in the premier league as the Reds won their 20th title to equal Manchester Uniteds record.
The Uruguayan scored only 11 goals in all competitions last season. Liverpool manager Arne Slot need more prolific strikers as they go for their title defence this season.
Al-Hilal has been on a striker search this summer and missed out on Simeone Inzaghis preferred striker, Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen always wanted to stay in Europe and compete with the best players. And got his wish as Galatasaray signed him on a four year deal.
