Liverpool remain active on multiple fronts in the summer transfer market, with Darwin Nunez’s future still uncertain.
Although there was optimism that new head coach Arne Slot could reinvigorate Nunez’s Anfield career, signs are pointing toward a possible departure for the Uruguayan striker.
While Serie A clubs had expressed serious interest in Nunez, Liverpool’s valuation—reportedly €70m (£60.7m)—has proven too steep for Italian sides.
Has Nunez warmed to a Saudi move?
Originally, it was believed that Nunez was only interested in staying within Europe. But Fabrizio Romano’s recent update suggests that stance may have shifted. According to him, Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal have submitted an official offer for the forward—and it appears Nunez and his representatives are open to considering it.
For Liverpool, this could be a welcome development. With Serie A clubs unable to meet their financial demands, a move to Saudi Arabia could help the Reds get closer to their valuation.
Selling Nunez could ease finances for Isak pursuit
Though Liverpool are under no immediate pressure to meet Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR)—even with a potential record deal for Alexander Isak—the club is clearly working to balance spending.
With notable income already expected from players like Luis Diaz (£65.5m) and Jarell Quansah (£35m), adding another £60m from a Nunez sale would only strengthen Liverpool’s position.
This extra funding could play a key role in their efforts to land Newcastle striker Isak before the window shuts on September 1. Whether or not they finalize a deal in time remains to be seen, but there’s cautious optimism.
