Al-Hilal hasn’t officially signed Darwin Núñez yet, but they’re actively pursuing him. Here’s the latest update –

Transfer Interest*: Al-Hilal has contacted Liverpool regarding a potential move for Núñez, with the Saudi Pro League club willing to meet Liverpool’s asking price of around £70-£85 million.

– *Player’s Preference*: Núñez prefers to stay in Europe, but Al-Hilal’s lucrative offer could change his mind. They’re reportedly offering him a weekly salary of £400,000, more than double his current earnings.

– *Contract Details*: Núñez’s current contract with Liverpool runs until June 2028, and Al-Hilal is prepared to offer him a substantial salary of €20-€25 million annually.

Current Status*: Liverpool has rejected Al-Hilal’s initial offer, but the Saudi club is expected to come back with a stronger bid. Talks are ongoing, and a decision on Núñez’s future is expected soon.

It’s worth noting that Núñez has struggled to find consistency at Liverpool, scoring just 7 times in 47 appearances under Arne Slot last season. A move to Al-Hilal could provide him with regular playing time and a fresh start.⁴

Reported by Fabrizio Romano on X, Al-Hilal remain in talks with Nunez’s representatives and the Uruguayan is high on their list of transfer targets for this summer. The transfer guru states Liverpool are open to a permanent sale and talks over a move for the 26-year-old will continue in the coming

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Nunez has been heavily linked with an Anfield departure after largely failing to live up to his £85 million ($112m) price tag following his transfer in 2022. The former Benfica striker saw his struggles increase in 2024-25 as he fell out of favour under Arne Slot. With a massive deal for Alexander Isak still potentially in the works, the sale of Nunez could raise useful funds.

DID YOU KNOW?

Nunez arrived for pre-season last month rocking a new buzzcut hairstyle and it has so far paid off, with the Uruguayan striker scoring four times in pre-season including a hat-trick in a behind-closed-doors encounter with Stoke City. This could suggest an upturn in goalscoring fortunes after he managed just seven in all competitions last term.
