Liverpool Striker Darwin Nunez Completes £46M Transfer to Al-Hilal

Liverpool has confirmed the transfer of star striker Darwin Nunez to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal, concluding his three-year spell at Anfield. The Uruguayan forward, who joined Liverpool from Benfica for an initial £64 million, scored 40 goals in 143 appearances and was part of Liverpool's Premier League-winning squad. Despite his contributions, Nunez started only eight league games last season, leading to his move to Saudi Arabia for a reported fee between £46.3 million and £56.6 million. Liverpool's sale of Nunez has raised significant funds, which could boost their pursuit of Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, who remains a top transfer target. Nunez leaves with a Premier League winner’s medal and other honors, and Liverpool has expressed gratitude for his efforts and wished him well in his future endeavors. His departure also follows the exit of Luis Diaz, indicating a reshaping of Liverpool's attacking options as they invest heavily in new signings like Hugo Ekitike.
