Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is at the center of intense transfer speculation this summer, with multiple clubs showing interest as Liverpool look to move the player on amid a forward reshuffle. Trusted football journalist Ian Doyle revealed that Liverpool are now open to offers for Nunez, who is reportedly valued at over £50 million. Nunez has attracted attention from AC Milan and Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal, despite Napoli ending their pursuit due to Liverpool’s high asking price of at least €55 million. Napoli had offered just €35 million, which was deemed insufficient by the Reds, causing that potential transfer to collapse.

Meanwhile, Saudi Pro League clubs remain a strong possibility for Nunez’s next destination. Al-Hilal, in particular, is preparing a near-perfect offer for the Uruguayan forward, with reports indicating a gargantuan wage proposal in the region of €20-25 million annually, equating to roughly £330,000-£410,000 per week. This personal remuneration coupled with a willingness to meet Liverpool’s €70 million asking price positions the Saudi club as a leading suitor. Although Nunez prefers to stay in Europe, the financial package and transfer fee offer seem ideal for all parties.

Liverpool are simultaneously working to replenish their strike force. With the signing of Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt near completion on a six-year deal, Liverpool appear to have shifted focus away from Alexander Isak, whose transfer has stalled due to Newcastle's reluctance to sell. Ekitike is considered a fitting replacement and a strong long-term investment, easing pressure to retain Nunez in the squad.

The 26-year-old Nunez’s tenure at Anfield has been scrutinized, particularly after a disappointing goal return last Premier League season—only five goals despite a total of 40 goals and 22 assists in 143 appearances overall. His uncertain future, coupled with the significant financial interest from clubs abroad, makes a move away increasingly likely.
