The Saudi Arabia team, Al Hilal is approaching the agreement with Liverpool to recruit striker Darwin Nunez. The two clubs have finished closing the transfer fee and now only waiting for an individual agreement with the player.
Nunez was rumored to leave Liverpool after not meeting the £ 85 million price that the Anfield team spent after the transfer in 2022. Former striker Benfica had more difficulties in the 2024/25 season when he was no longer used under Arne Slot.
Many teams have paid attention to Nunez, in which Al Hilal is a team that is determined to bring the Uruguayan striker to the Middle East. According to the transfer expert Fabrizio Romano: “More information about the exclusive story of Darwin Nunez and Al Hilal. The agreement between Al Hilal and Liverpool has been 100%completed. It is known that the initial fee will be 53 million euros plus the fees to raise the higher fee. The negotiations with Darwin are taking place to get green lights. Having happened, coach Simone Inzaghi wants him in the squad. “
This move by Liverpool is completely understandable, when the Anfield team is performing a radical force revolution in the ambition to defend the Premier League championship as well as the Champions League championship. More than 300 million euros were launched by The Kop in the summer market, and they still did not want to stop when officially asked to buy Alexander Isak from Newcastle with a proposal of 140 million euros but were rejected.
If the Nunez deal is completed, Liverpool can reach nearly 200 million euros of sales revenue. Earlier, the Anfield team has pushed away many names such as Luis Diaz (70 million euros), Jarell Quanusah (35), CaoMhin Kelleher (14), Trent Alexander-Arnold (10), Tyler Morton (15), Nat Phillips (3.5). This means that Liverpool's transfer negative number this summer is not too large, helping them still ensure the rules of financial fairness.
Regarding the transfer situation in Liverpool, the opportunity for them to own Isak increasingly fragile after Newcastle failed to recruit Benjamin Sesko to MU. The Kop can only conveniently negotiate to buy Isak if Newcastle finds another name instead. Currently, Cheo is moving towards players like Ollie Watkins, Nicolas Jackson and Younge Wissa.
