Darwin Nunez, the Uruguayan footballer, 26, who plays as a striker for the Premier League champions Liverpool. He joined Liverpool in 2022 for a reported transfer fee of €75 million with add-ons. He has scored 25 goals and provided 13 assists in the 95 matches that he has played for the club. The Uruguayan international was a key part of the squad managed by Jurgen Klopp. However, several reports suggest that Nunez is not a key part of the plan of Arne Slot for the upcoming campaign, which is why he could be seen making a move away from Anfield.
According to the latest developments, as per Fabrizio Romano, the Saudi giants Al-Hilal have presented their project and plan to the Uruguayan International, and they are eyeing to sign him from the Reds ahead of the upcoming season. Al-Hilal are set to continue their talks with him, and they are set to hold club-to-club talks with Liverpool in order to understand the financial details of the deal.

Darwin Nunez has also been linked to joining Al-Nassr, however it was later confirmed that the reports were not true and there have been no talks between both the parties. The Italian champions Napoli were also in the race to sign Nunez. However, the deal did not progress ahead as Napoli changed their plans and decided to sign the young Lorenzo Lucca from the Italian team Udinese. However, the runners-up of Saudi Pro league are now the latest team to join the race to sign Darwin Nunez.
Al-Hilal are aiming for the League title under their new manager Simone Inzaghi, who joined the club after reaching the finals of the Champions league with Inter Milan in the previous campaign. Meanwhile, Liverpool are looking to offload some players after completing various transfers in this window. Their latest target is Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, which will reduce the game time of Nunez in the team which is why he could possibly explore a move to the Saudi giants in the future.
