Arne Slot has all but confirmed that Darwin Nunez will leave Liverpool - although he refused to be drawn on whether Alexander Isak could be his replacement.

Nunez is set to join Al Hilal, with the striker expected to arrive at the Saudi Pro League side's training camp in Germany in order to undergo his medical, having been absent from Liverpool's latest training session on Thursday.

His impending exit comes as speculation continues over a potential move for Isak.

"As you know, from me and I think every manager works like this, you never talk about players that aren't yours, so I can talk to you about Hugo [Ekitike] who we've signed recently and has done really well until now," Slot said.

"As always, what I say is the same boring answer as with players that we might bring in or not," Slot added

"I'm really happy with the players that we have, and we have numerous players that can play in the positions."

For now, attention turns to Sunday's game at Wembley as the Premier League champions take on the FA Cup winners for the first piece of silverware of the season.

"It's nice if you can start the season with the chance of winning something because normally you have to play numerous games before you can win something, if it's the League Cup, FA Cup, let alone Premier League or Champions League, normally you can win something at the end of the season," Slot said.

"Now we have the chance to win something at the beginning of the season
