Al Hilal Complete £46m Darwin Nunez Transfer from Liverpool

Darwin Nunez is set to leave Liverpool after three years, with Al Hilal agreeing to pay around £46 million plus bonuses for the striker. Nunez, who scored 40 goals in 143 appearances for Liverpool, had limited playing time under manager Arne Slot last season and expressed a strong desire to move on, having previously pushed for a transfer in January. Despite Liverpool's initial refusal to sell during their successful Premier League title run, the club has now agreed to the deal as Nunez seeks a new challenge. Al Hilal's signing of Nunez brings the forward to the Saudi Pro League, joining other ex-Premier League players, but the club faces a ban from the 2026-27 Saudi Super Cup after withdrawing from the current season's competition, which may limit Nunez's chances for silverware shortly after his arrival. Liverpool are planning to replace Nunez and have already strengthened their squad with new signings including Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, and Florian Wirtz, while also facing a rejected £110 million bid for Newcastle's Alexander Isak.
