Darwin Nunez's Liverpool future is uncertain and he could leave Anfield this summer.

It's the lowest total Nunez has managed in the three years he has been at the Reds, having scored 18 in 2023/24 and 15 in his first season.

As Arne Slot is keen to strengthen his Liverpool front line, Nunez could be sacrificed to raise funds.



While the Reds might make a loss, they want at least £70m to sanction his exit this summer.

Al-Hilal contacted Liverpool about Darwin Nunez on Monday and the Saudi Pro League team were made aware about the conditions of a potential move, according to The Athletic.

Liverpool rejected a proposal worth £59m from Al-Nassr for Nunez in January and it's thought that the Reds want more to accept his exit this summer.

Atletico Madrid are among those considering a move for Nunez, with Diego Simeone keen on strengthening his forward line after finishing third in La Liga this season.

Antonio Conte's side are in the market for a centre forward in an attempt to add more firepower ahead of their return to the Champions League.

While Liverpool would be more open to a permanent move, Napoli are said to be prioritising a loan deal for Nunez.

He has three years left on his contract at Liverpool and the Serie A side would be willing to pay a high portion of his wages, reported to be in the region of £140,00 per week.

It was claimed towards the end of last season in the Portuguese media that Liverpool were limiting the striker’s appearances to avoid paying an add-on to Benfica.

But Slot hit back at those claims by stating that he’s never been told not to play someone at Liverpool down to financial reasons.

He said: “Do you always believe what journalists say?
