Jamie Carragher had already predicted Darwin Nunez's Liverpool spell would likely come to an end this summer.

Last season, he managed only five goals in the Premier League and seven across all competitions, but did end up winning his first league title in Europe.

Following the sale of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich, the Premier League champions have been open to allowing Nunez to depart.



According to The Athletic, Al-Hilal have now reached an agreement in principle with the Reds for the striker's transfer.

The Saudi Pro League outfit, led by former Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi, is said to have agreed on a fee of £46m plus add-ons for Nunez, who is open to discussing personal terms.

Carragher said: "We said we don't know what he is going to do, so how will the defenders?

"Nobody ever says that about a good player, do they?

It is not going to be any different to what he is now."

Nunez did have a standout moment last season when he scored two late goals to secure a crucial victory against Brentford, aiding Liverpool's league title pursuit.

However, he also faced public criticism from Slot who questioned the striker's attitude after missing a golden opportunity in a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa.

That's why I addressed it."

Should Nunez secure a move to Saudi Arabia, his departure would leave Slot with only Hugo Ekitike as the club's sole recognised striker, while the likes of Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa could deputise in the number nine role when need be.
