Ongoing Negotiations Between Al-Hilal and Darwin Nunez’s Team
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed via X that discussions persist between Al-Hilal and the agents of Darwin Nunez, positioning the forward as a top priority for the Saudi side this transfer period. According to the insider, Liverpool is willing to entertain a full transfer, with conversations expected to advance in the near future.
Liverpool’s Stance on a Permanent Darwin Nunez Departure
Speculation about Nunez leaving Anfield has intensified, given his inability to justify the hefty £85 million ($112m) investment since joining from Benfica in 2022. His form dipped further in the 2024-25 campaign, leading to reduced playing time under manager Arne Slot. As Liverpool contemplates a major move for Newcastle’s Alexander Isak-whose recent tally of 21 الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز goals in the 2023-24 season underscores his appeal-offloading Nunez could provide essential capital for squad enhancements.
Darwin Nunez’s Pre-Season Performance and Future Prospects
Showing up for pre-season training with a fresh shaved-head look last month, Nunez has demonstrated promising signs, netting four goals in warm-up matches, highlighted by a three-goal haul in a private friendly against ستوك City. This surge contrasts sharply with his modest output of only seven goals across all competitions in the prior year, hinting at a possible revival in his finishing prowess.
Alternative Destinations for Darwin Nunez Beyond Al-Hilal
Besides the attractive proposal from Saudi Arabia, Nunez has caught the attention of الدوري الإيطالي powerhouses like يوفنتوس and Napoli, with potential bids possibly surfacing before the transfer deadline on September 1. The Uruguayan star’s next club remains uncertain for now, likely to be decided in the upcoming weeks. In parallel, Liverpool gears up for their Premier League kickoff against بورنموث on August 15, while keeping tabs on any fresh twists in the Isak saga, especially after their initial offer was turned down amid reports of his rising market value exceeding £100 million.
