Premier League champions Liverpool are willing to go all in to secure a move away for Darwin Nunez this summer, with the club increasingly confident of offloading the misfiring striker to the Middle East.
Football Insider claim that the Reds are actively pursuing a deal with a Saudi Arabian outfit, with Al-Hilal among the clubs said to be keen.
Given his profligacy in front of the goal, it was just a matter of time before the Reds pulled the plug on their inconsistent frontman.
His tally of just seven goals and seven assists across all competitions simply doesn’t match the output required from a starting forward at a club aiming to win the Premier League and Champions League.
Make no mistake, Nunez is not without talent.
Names like Alexander Isak have surfaced, strikers who bring a blend of intelligence, technique, and ruthlessness in front of goal.
If Saudi Arabian clubs are willing to pay top dollar for Nunez and early signs indicate that they might, then Liverpool must seize the opportunity to reinvest in the squad and reinforce more urgently needed areas.
Selling the 25-year-old would also represent pure Financial Fair Play profit, a welcome bonus in today’s transfer climate.
At just 25, Nunez still has time to reboot his career, and perhaps a move to Saudi Arabia, where the pressure and pace differ significantly, could allow him to rediscover his best form.
Nunez’s Anfield chapter may be closing earlier than expected, but it’s the right call and one that has been some time coming.
