Liverpool get rid of record-breaking player

Liverpool sold Darwin Nunez to Al-Hilal for £46 million, accepting a heavy loss compared to when they brought him in from Benfica.

Multiple reliable sources have confirmed that Al-Hilal have reached an agreement to sign Darwin Nunez for £46 million, excluding fees.

Liverpool want to get rid of the Uruguayan striker after spending 79 million pounds to bring Hugo Ekitike. In addition, they are still pursuing the "blockbuster" contract Alexander Isak.

The Athletic confirmed that in recent days, Nunez was allowed to negotiate with the "rich guy" Saudi Arabia and has just made a breakthrough.

Accordingly, Al-Hilal gave Darwin Nunez a 3-year contract, with a sky-high salary of 18.7 million pounds per season.

AC Milan are also interested in the 26-year-old striker but they cannot compete with the Saudi Arabian club in terms of money.

Once the two clubs agree on a fee, Darwin Nunez will fly to the Middle East for a medical .

At the beginning of the year, Al-Nassr sent a £60 million offer to buy Nunez. However, Liverpool refused at that time because they were competing for the Premier League title.

In 2022, the Anfield team spent a record amount of 85 million pounds to bring Nunez to Anfield. In 3 years wearing the Kop shirt, the Uruguayan scored 40 goals in 143 matches.
