All current transfer talk surrounding Liverpool is focused on potential arrivals, with the Reds reportedly closing in on both Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth.

While neither deal is over the line just yet, Liverpool are have submitted an improved offer for Wirtz this week, and discussions with Bournemouth over Kerkez are believed to be ongoing.

The first transfer window of the summer has been open for less than a week, but by the time it closes on Tuesday, fans will be hoping those two arrivals follow Jeremie Frimpong through the door at Anfield.

Beyond the understandable excitement around potential signings, a major question mark remains over the future of striker Darwin Nunez.

The Uruguay international has been heavily linked with a move away from the club this summer, just three years after his big-money transfer from Portuguese side Benfica.

That said, with time running out in this initial transfer window, it’s becoming increasingly unlikely that he will be moved on before the market reopens on 16 June.

Over the past year, Nunez has been linked with a number of clubs across Europe and beyond, few more strongly than Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.

However, the Saudi club have been at the centre of another striker saga this window, with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen at the heart of a high-profile transfer pursuit.

The Nigeria international has fallen out of favour at his current club and spent the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Galatasaray in Turkey.

It’s fair to say the story has taken several twists over the last 48 hours, as Al-Hilal ramped up their efforts to land Osimhen.

Even if the Saudi club were to reignite their interest down the line, their involvement in the Club World Cup could complicate negotiations.

It’s also worth noting that Al-Hilal are not the only club linked with the Liverpool striker.
