Liverpool finalises £46.3m transfer of Darwin Núñez to Al-Hilal
Darwin Núñez is set to join Al-Hilal after Liverpool accepted a £46.3m offer, with add-ons included. The move will be final once he agrees to personal terms.
Núñez first showed interest in moving to Saudi Arabia in January. Liverpool turned down a £60m bid from Al-Nassr at the time. However, the striker and his camp pushed again this summer, and the club agreed to let him go.
Since arriving from Benfica in 2022, Núñez has had ups and downs. Liverpool paid £65m for him, with the deal rising to £85m through bonuses. He scored key goals but failed to lock down a regular starting role. He started only eight league games last season and struggled to fit into Arne Slot’s system.
Their £110m bid for Newcastle’s Isak remains on the table. The club is also considering Brentford’s Wissa and Aston Villa’s Watkins.
