Darwin Nunez remains a player who is expected to leave Liverpool this summer.
There has been a significant reshuffle in the Reds’ changing room during this transfer window, as several incomings and outgoings will mold a new-look Liverpool next season.
First-team regulars Luis Diaz and Trent Alexander-Arnold have departed, whilst key squad players Jarell Quansah and Caoimhin Kelleher have also left in search of a new adventure.
The Uruguayan will move summer, that is almost guaranteed, as Arne Slot has made it clear he is not part of his plans next season and clubs in Italy and Saudi Arabia hold concrete interest in his services.
Any potential deal is slightly hindered by the clubs asking for a price that is in excess of £50m.
Napoli seemed destined to sign him earlier in the window, but the Serie A side eventually opted against signing the striker, as the club was unable to meet Liverpool’s valuation of the player.
News broke yesterday after Fabrizio Romano revealed that Al-Hilal had opened talks and started discussions to sign Darwin Nunez.
The Saudi Pro League side keen on Darwin as he remains available on the market and is ready to leave Liverpool.
Today, it is clear that Italian sides remain interested too.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio for Sky Sports Italy, Darwin Nunez represents AC Milan’s first choice for the Rossoneri offensive department.
He is the sporting director of AC Milan Igli Tare’s first choice target for the striker position.
AC Milan have made an enquiry about signing the striker, but the negotiation remains difficult.
Di Marzio mentioned Al Hilal and how the Saudi Pro League club have not yet submitted any official offers, but they remain interested in the striker, making AC Milan’s task just that little bit more difficult.
Darwin Nunez has come off the back of another difficult season for Liverpool as he has struggled to transfer what he achieved in Portugal, to the Premier League.
The conclusion that makes sense for both parties is if the Uruguayan departs Liverpool this summer.
