Al Hilal Club is trying to complete Liverpool's Darwin Nunez striker in this summer. Meanwhile, Atalanta is also ready to “rescue” Federico Chiesa.
Al Hilal once aimed at famous names like Victor Osimhen, Alexander Isak and Benjamin Sesko but has not reached any agreement. Now, this team is putting all their efforts to negotiate with Liverpool about Nunez's future.
The Liverpool side is also ready to leave Nunez in the last weeks of the transfer, especially when they added young striker Hugo Ekitike from Frankfurt and still pursuing Newcastle's Alexander Isak. Although the first offer was rejected, Liverpool is said to be still very interested in the Swedish striker.
Not only Al Hilal, AC Milan is also keeping an eye on Nunez when coach Massimiliano Allegri wants to boost firepower for Rossoneri attack. However, Liverpool can prioritize selling Nunez to Saudi Arabia to earn large sums of money and soon close the Isak deal.
In other developments, the future of Federico Chiesa in Liverpool is also becoming uncertain. The Italian striker did not leave many imprints in the first season in the Premier League with only 2 goals and 2 assists after 14 matches. Now, Ademola Lookman's application for leaving Atalanta can pave the way for the Italian team to recruit Chiesa.
Lookman confirmed that he was prevented by the club despite reaching the previous agreement and felt disrespectful treatment. If Lookman left, Atalanta will have a salary fund and position to negotiate with Liverpool about the case of Chiesa.
Up to now, Liverpool has recruited a series of rookies such as Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike, Giorgi Mamardashvili and Armin Pecsi. However, their purchase and sale activities have not stopped when coach Arne Slot is still looking for the final pieces for the squad before the starting season.
