Darwin Nunez could leave Liverpool this summer(Image: Kenta Harada/Getty Images)

Liverpool are still waiting for a fresh approach from Saudi Arabia for Darwin Nunez amid growing speculation over the striker's future.

Reports in the Middle East have claimed Al-Hilal are targeting Nunez and have opened talks with the player and his representatives regarding a move.

But the ECHO understands Liverpool have not yet received an official approach from any team in the Saudi Pro League this summer for the Uruguay international.

The only bid for Nunez so far this summer has been from Napoli, which fell significantly short of the Reds' valuation of the 26-year-old.

Napoli subsequently ended their interest and instead signed Italy international Lorenzo Lucca from Udinese.

The Reds eventually claimed the Premier League title with the forward making 30 appearances in the competition.

Nunez, though, is now expected to leave should a suitable offer be made, with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes overseeing a rebuild of the squad's attacking options.

Luis Diaz has left for Bayern Munich for £65.5 million while Federico Chiesa and teenager Ben Doak are also being touted for departures.

Liverpool had a £110m offer for Alexander Isak rejected by Newcastle United on Friday, but remain interested in the Sweden international striker.
