Darwin Nunez will still earn a lot less than Erling Haaland despite his impending move to Saudi Arabia(Image: PA)

Darwin Nunez’s wages will still be dwarfed by Erling Haaland’s despite the Liverpool’s forward’s impending move to Saudi Arabia.

Liverpool remained interested in Newcastle’s Alexander Isak despite having a £110m bid rejected last week.



The Sweden international has been told to train away from the main squad, having asked to explore a move away from the Magpies.

In keeping with the money-laden Saudi Pro League, Nunez will reportedly collect a colossal salary of around £13million a year, which would have made him the 13th biggest earner in the Premier League.

However, it still leaves him well short of Manchester City's Haaland, who tops the Premier League money list by some way with an annual salary of around £27.3m, according to Spotrac.

That means his weekly earnings equate to around £525,000.

The Norwegian goal machine, 25, penned a huge long-term contract earlier this year, keeping him at the Etihad until the summer of 2034, by which time he will be in his mid-30s.

Next on the list is Nunez’s soon-to-be-ex-Liverpool team-mate, Mohamed Salah on £20.3m followed by Manchester United’s Carlos Casimiro and another Liverpool player, Virgil van Dijk, both on £18.2m.

Nunez has scored 40 goals in 143 appearances for the Reds but has often frustrated fans with his inconsistency.

Following the signing of Ekitike and potential arrival of Isak, Nunez’s first-team opportunities would have been increasingly limited had he stayed at Anfield.

He is set follow Luis Diaz out of the club following his £65m move to Bayern Munich.

The Colombian had been pushing for a move since last summer and, after two failed attempts to agree an extension to the two years he had remaining on his contract, Liverpool reluctantly accepted his departure was inevitable.

In a farewell post to Liverpool fans on Instagram, Diaz reflected that it would have been the “perfect goodbye” had it not been for the tragic death of team-mate Diogo Jota in a car crash in Spain last month.

He wrote: “It’s good to be leaving with the feeling of a duty fulfilled, and, most of all, to be leaving a champion.
