Al Hilal Eye Ambitious Summer Move for Liverpool’s Darwin Núñez
Saudi Pro League powerhouse Al Hilal have reportedly initiated contact with Darwin Núñez’s representatives, signaling early interest in a potential high-profile transfer this summer.
Sources close to the situation indicate that Al Hilal—famous for their recent marquee signings—are eager to bring the Uruguayan striker to the Middle East. Although no formal bid has been submitted, preliminary talks are said to have taken place to gauge Núñez’s willingness and the terms necessary for a deal.
Núñez, 25, arrived at Liverpool from Benfica in 2022 in a deal worth up to £85 million. While he has shown flashes of brilliance, his inconsistency has sparked questions about his future at Anfield. With Liverpool undergoing changes under new manager Arne Slot, Al Hilal see a potential opening to make a move.
The Saudi club is reportedly prepared to offer a highly lucrative contract, potentially making Núñez one of the best-paid players outside of Europe. However, it remains uncertain whether the forward is ready to step away from European football at this point in his career.
Liverpool have not yet commented on the reports, and it’s unclear whether the club would consider parting ways with Núñez, who still has several years remaining on his deal.
This pursuit aligns with the Saudi Pro League’s ongoing strategy of attracting top international talent, following major signings like Neymar, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Sergej Milinković-Savić in previous windows.
