Liverpool have reached an agreement with Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal for the sale of striker Darwin Núñez. The deal is reported to be worth around €53 million (£46.3 million) plus add-ons, potentially raising the total fee to about £56.6 million. Núñez, who joined Liverpool three years ago, is set to leave the Premier League champions after this transfer.

According to reports, Núñez will earn a net yearly wage of €15 million (£13.1 million) plus additional bonuses at Al Hilal. Before finalizing the move, the 26-year-old striker is expected to say his goodbyes to his Liverpool teammates at the AXA Training Centre and then travel to Germany for a medical examination.

This transfer marks another high-profile departure from Liverpool following Tyler Morton's recent £15 million move to Lyon. The shift follows Liverpool's busy summer transfer window, which has seen significant squad changes including the exit of Núñez and winger Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich.

While AC Milan had shown interest, they were unable to match the financial package offered by the Saudi club. Al Hilal's ability to meet Núñez's wage demands facilitated the swift agreement. This move is part of the growing trend of top players transferring to the Saudi Pro League amid lucrative offers.
