It’s becoming clearer with each passing week that Liverpool are reshaping their squad.

With Arne Slot and his Reds looking to defend their Premier League crown, it’s only expected that there’s going to be an upgrade in the squad.

This is especially because the club didnt really do much business last summer.

With this turn of events, there are going to be players who don’t quite fit into the new system.

One of those names that continues to pop up is Darwin Nunez.

Nunez has had moments of brilliance since arriving in 2022.

His pace, power, and unpredictability have caused chaos in many Premier League defences.

But there’s no denying that his inconsistency, especially in front of goal, has been a growing concern.

Liverpool have also been linked with moves for more clinical, technically polished forwards this summer — including a big-money push for Alexander Isak.

If that’s going to happen, it only makes sense that players may have to move on first.

There’s been talk of interest from European clubs, especially in Serie A.

But none of them seem capable of putting serious money on the table.

Which is why there’s a new kind of competition — not one based on footballing prestige, but financial firepower.

And now, one club has stepped forward.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Saudi Pro League runners-up Al-Hilal are pushing to sign Darwin Nunez.

According to the transfer expert, Al-Hilal have “presented their project” to the Uruguayan striker as part of their push to sign him this summer.

The Saudi club is continuing its new approach of targeting younger players who are still in their prime, and Nunez fits that bill.

At just 26, he is far from a fading star.

Al-Hilal’s timing is spot on.

Nunez appears to have slipped down the pecking order since Arne Slot took over, and a move could suit all parties.

Romano says Al-Hilal’s project was shown to Nunez “ahead of talks with the club.”

It’s now about the price.

Liverpool are reportedly holding out for €70m (£60.7m).

That figure might be a problem for clubs in Italy.

Liverpool signed Nunez from Benfica for £64m up front, with add-ons potentially pushing the deal to £85m.

Now, as the club considers reinvesting in players like Isak, another influx of cash would help.

Nunez gave fans some unforgettable moments.

But it seems his time at Anfield may be up — and Al-Hilal might be the club to make it happen.
