Liverpool Agrees £50m Deal for Darwin Nunez to Al Hilal

Liverpool has agreed to sell striker Darwin Nunez to Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal after a challenging spell at Anfield. Nunez, who joined Liverpool for a club-record fee from Benfica, struggled to secure a consistent starting position under head coach Arne Slot and scored 40 goals in 143 appearances with mixed performances. Al Hilal is set to pay an initial fee of around £46-56 million, with additional add-ons likely, making the deal highly favorable for Liverpool. The Uruguayan, aged 26, is reportedly close to agreeing personal terms on a lucrative three-year contract worth up to $25 million per season, while Liverpool looks to reinforce their squad with new signings such as Hugo Ekitike and pursue a move for Newcastle's Alexander Isak. Nunez's departure is part of a larger rebuild at Liverpool following their recent Premier League success, with the club also considering other player sales and acquisitions. The transfer marks the end of Nunez's European career as he moves to the Saudi league in the prime of his playing years.
