Liverpool agree Darwin Nunez deal with Al-Hilal as they bid to raise funds for Newcastle wantaway Alexander Isak - after signing striker for £85m just three seasons ago
Liverpool have reached an agreement with Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal over the transfer of striker Darwin Núñez. The deal is reportedly worth a fixed fee of £46.2 million (€53 million), with potential add-ons that could raise the total value. Núñez, who has expressed a strong desire to leave Liverpool this summer, is expected to complete his move shortly.
This transfer marks a significant development for Liverpool as they prepare to find a replacement following Núñez’s departure. The club is actively seeking a new striker to fill the void left by the Uruguayan forward.
Sources familiar with the negotiations have confirmed that the agreement between Liverpool and Al Hilal is now in place, with Núñez set to join the Saudi side imminently. The transfer fee reflects the player's perceived value and the demand from Al Hilal to enhance their attacking options.
Details about the add-ons and the complete structure of the deal remain undisclosed, but the base fee positions this transfer among the notable moves of the current summer window. Both Liverpool and Al Hilal appear to be finalizing the remaining formalities to make the transfer official.
The move is part of a broader trend of high-profile players transferring to the Saudi Pro League, which has been investing heavily to attract international talent. For Liverpool, closing this deal allows them to focus on recruiting new talent before the transfer window closes.
