Liverpool star, Darwin Nunez time at Anfield might be coming to an end as talks with Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal continue to gain ground. The Uruguayan striker is now being seriously considered by the Saudi giants, with discussions already underway.
With the 26-year-old having evidently fallen out of favour at Anfield following Arne Slot's arrival, the Saudi outfit's timing couldn't be more appropriate.
While Darwin Nunez has shown glimpses of progress during pre-season, sources suggest his role in Arne Slot's plans is becoming increasingly uncertain. New signings like Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz have added competition, while the exits of Diaz, Kelleher and Alexander-Arnold hint at a bigger rebuild.
Nunez was a target for Napoli earlier in this transfer window, but a deal couldn't be agreed, but now according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano via his X handle , the Saudi Pro league side, Al Hilal have presented their project and plan to Darwin Nunez camp in recent days and negotiations will follow with player and club respectively. The tweet reads:
Liverpool are not only focused on outgoings this summer, the Premier League champions are already plotting their next big move. The Reds are reportedly prepared to reinvest the funds from Darwin Nunez's potential exit to reignite their pursuit of Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak. Although their initial 110 million bid was turned down , Liverpool remain determined to test Newcastle's resolve with a fresh approach.
The sale of Nunez would bolster their financial position, giving them the flexibility to table an improved offer. Within Anfield, Isak is seen as a significant upgrade, especially after his standout performances last season.
