Darwin Nunez's transfer from Liverpool to Al-Hilal is set to further add to the substantial financial boost he's provided for one of his former clubs.

However, Nunez and Liverpool aren't the only ones set to benefit financially from this move.

His first senior club, Penarol, based in his native Uruguay and which he joined in 2014, have profited significantly from his European transfers.



As a result of their savvy business, Penarol indeed received 20% of the fee, equating to roughly £4.34m.

El Observador reports that they were still entitled to a sum of money when Liverpool decided to sign Nunez in the summer of 2022.

Liverpool secured his signature for an initial £65m, with potential add-ons taking the deal up to £85m.

As a result of the transfer, Penarol pocketed approximately £3m thanks to their astute planning when he joined Almeria.

The Reds demonstrated their own wise dealings as not all of the previously mentioned add-ons needed to be fulfilled.

Slot's choice not to field him in one additional Premier League match for the Merseysiders last season allegedly stopped one of the conditions from being triggered, sparing Liverpool an estimated £4.3m.

Despite his departure from the club in 2019, Penarol continue to retain roughly 3% of any transfer fee Liverpool generate from him.

When his switch to Saudi Arabia is completed, they are poised to collect around £1.34m from the transaction.

Overall, they have banked around £15.62m from Nunez, 26, throughout the years.
