Al-Hilal in talks to sign Darwin Nunez from Liverpool

Al-Hilal are in talks to sign Darwin Nunez from Liverpool in the summer transfer window, according to journalists Fabrizio Romano and Ben Jacobs.

Liverpool are ready to offload Nunez before the summer transfer window closes, with the striker having lost his place in manager Arne Slot’s starting line-up last season.

The Premier League champions have already signed Hugo Ekitike and are also planning to make a second and improved bid for Alexander Isak after Newcastle United turned down their initial offer of £110 million last week.

Romano wrote on X: “EXCLUSIVE: Al Hilal are close to getting Darwin Nunez deal done after verbal agreement in place with Liverpool.

“Club to club agreement is done, while Al Hilal are in talks with Darwin over personal terms.

“Decision up to Nunez but talks underway, Inzaghi wants him.”

Jacobs wrote on X: @Darwin Nunez close to an agreement with Al-Hilal on terms, as @FabrizioRomano called.

“Club-to-club talks expected to move swiftly if Nunez informs Liverpool he wants the move.

“Suggestions a €65m fee is already agreed are premature. 

“Certainly a feeling a deal can be struck quickly if player buy in comes, but Liverpool are still waiting for a formal approach.”
