Liverpool have reached a staggering £75 million agreement with Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal for the transfer of Darwin Nunez, according to reports.
The Uruguayan forward, who joined the Reds from Benfica in 2022 for a club-record £85 million, is now set for a new chapter in the rapidly growing Saudi Pro League.
Big-Money Move Confirmed
Sources close to the negotiations confirm that the two clubs have finalised terms, with personal discussions between Nunez and Al-Hilal now the final hurdle before the deal's completion.
The 24-year-old striker, who scored 18 goals in his debut Premier League season, will become the latest high-profile footballer to make the switch to Saudi Arabia following Cristiano Ronaldo's groundbreaking move last year.
What This Means for Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp's side will receive a significant fee for a player who, despite showing flashes of brilliance, struggled with consistency in front of goal. The transfer provides Liverpool with substantial funds to reinvest in their squad as they look to challenge Manchester City for domestic supremacy.
Nunez's departure leaves Liverpool with attacking options including Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz, though the club may now enter the market for additional firepower.
Saudi Pro League's Growing Pull
This transfer represents another major coup for Saudi football, with Al-Hilal - already home to stars like Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves - adding yet another elite talent to their ranks.
The Middle Eastern league's ambitious recruitment drive shows no signs of slowing, with Nunez set to become one of the division's highest-profile players when the move is officially confirmed.
