Darwin Nunez’s spell at Liverpool appears to be nearing its end, as Al-Hilal edges closer to completing a high-profile transfer for the Uruguayan forward.
Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that talks between the two clubs are now in an advanced phase, with Liverpool awaiting Nunez’s final decision on whether to join the Saudi Pro League side.
While the transfer hasn’t been officially signed off, the financial terms have already been verbally agreed upon. Liverpool and Al-Hilal have reached a general agreement on the fee, including potential add-ons, and the remaining discussions hinge on Nunez’s personal terms and his willingness to make the move.
Nunez is said to be carefully weighing his options, but all indications suggest that his departure from the Premier League champions is imminent.
Liverpool are ready to complete the deal as soon as Nunez gives his approval. According to Jacobs, the transfer could be finalized as soon as today. If he agrees, the striker is expected to say his goodbyes on Thursday before traveling to Germany for a medical.
Liverpool are looking to act swiftly, with the sale of the 26-year-old expected to bring in substantial funds to support new manager Arne Slot’s squad overhaul.
Following Nunez’s exit, the Reds may shift their focus to Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak. Their initial bid for the Swedish striker was turned down, but funds from Nunez’s sale could strengthen their pursuit.
Al-Hilal have remained persistent in their chase for Nunez, with manager Simone Inzaghi reportedly eager to make him the focal point of the team’s attack. The club is optimistic that their lucrative offer has done enough to secure his signature.
