The price Liverpool want for Darwin Nunez has been revealed.
The Uruguayan’s future is set to be one of the most-discussed topics in this summer transfer window.
The 25-year-old forward, who arrived as Liverpool’s record signing for £85 million in 2022, has endured a disappointing 2024-25 campaign that has seen him relegated to the fringes of the first team and sparked intense speculation about his future.
Nunez was relegated to a supporting role this season, making just eight Premier League starts while coming off the bench 21 times.
His return of five goals and three assists in 29 league appearances represents a disappointing output for a player acquired for such a substantial fee.
Liverpool are minded to sell him after rejecting an offer from Al-Nassr last January.
The club refused to sanction a deal for Nunez in the winter because they were still fighting on four fronts?
So they were unwilling to entertain a mid-season sale of Nunez, leading Al-Nassr to redirect their attention to Colombian forward Jhon Duran.
However, Liverpool are open to selling Nunez this summer, and Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal have been named a potential buyer.
A recent report also claims that Nunez is open to joining the Saudi club, with Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, claiming that first contact has been established in recent hours with Nunez’s entourage.
And now, journalist Nicolò Schira has revealed that Liverpool wants €55m for Nunez.
The Reds signed £85 million in 2022, so the €55m reportedly wanted by Liverpool represents a huge loss for the club.
The journalist also revealed that Nunez has rejected Al-Hilal’s approach as he is keen on staying in Europe.
Atletico Madrid and Napoli have been touted as possible destinations for the striker.
It remains to be seen if the striker will get his reported wish and get a move to a top European club.
