Liverpool have reached a verbal agreement with Saudi club Al-Hilal about transferring Darwin Nunez, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The deal is reportedly worth €65 million to €70 million, which matches Liverpool’s valuation of the Uruguayan striker.
Al-Hilal is now focusing on finalizing personal terms with Nunez and his representatives as they work to complete one of the biggest deals of the Saudi Pro League’s summer window.
Inzaghi Pushes for Nunez as Al-Hilal Step Up Talks
Al-Hilal’s newly appointed manager, Simone Inzaghi, is believed to be a key supporter of the move. The Italian coach had shown interest in Nunez during his time at Inter Milan and now views the striker as a great fit for his project in Riyadh.
The Saudi club’s ambition is clear. They are not just meeting Liverpool’s financial demands, but also offering an appealing sporting vision to convince Nunez.
New Signings Push Nunez Toward the Exit
Nunez is reportedly open to the move after feeling a change in his role at Liverpool. The arrivals of Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz this summer have added fresh competition to the Reds’ attacking line, which could limit his playing time.
Sources indicate that Nunez recognizes the timing is right for a new challenge. Al-Hilal is offering him a leading role on a global stage.
A Game-Changing Signing for the Saudi Pro League?
If the move happens, Darwin Nunez would join a growing list of high-profile stars heading to Saudi Arabia. The transfer would be another significant success for Al-Hilal and a further statement of intent from the Saudi Pro League.
An official announcement is expected soon, pending agreement on personal terms and medical checks.
