Liverpool Striker Darwin Nunez Nears Saudi Al Hilal Transfer Talks

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is expected to leave the club this summer amid interest from Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, who have reportedly made an official offer and engaged in ongoing talks with the player and Liverpool. Nunez, who struggled for consistency last season and made 30 Premier League appearances with just five goals, is seen as a key target for Al Hilal's new coach Simone Inzaghi, though the player reportedly prefers to stay in Europe. Liverpool, rebuilding their forward line after losing Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota, are open to selling Nunez but seek a substantial transfer fee to recoup the £85 million initially paid. AC Milan has also shown interest, but cannot match the financial terms offered by Al Hilal. The club aims to reinvest funds from Nunez's sale to pursue Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, though their initial bid was rejected. While Napoli and Juventus have been linked as potential European suitors, the Saudi offer remains the most concrete, with negotiations ongoing as the transfer window progresses.
