Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez could be Al-Hilal bound in the summer transfer window.

The Saudi Pro League’s aggressive recruitment drive continues, and this time, Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is in their crosshairs.

According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Al-Hilal have already presented their ambitious project to Liverpool’s No.9 in recent days. With Arne Slot reshaping his squad ahead of the new season, the timing of the Saudi club’s approach appears no coincidence. Talks are expected to progress soon between all parties, with Liverpool open to a sale, provided the price is right.

Al-Hilal move comes at a defining moment

Darwin Nunez’s future at Anfield has looked increasingly uncertain ever since Arne Slot’s arrival. The Dutchman’s footballing philosophy leans heavily on precision, positional awareness, and ruthless efficiency in front of goal areas, where the Uruguayan, despite his raw power and work rate, has often fallen short.

Al-Hilal’s pitch reportedly outlines a long-term vision that appeals to younger players looking for both financial reward and a leading role. For a player like Darwin, who is still only 26 and has seen his starting opportunities decline, the chance to become the face of a major project could be a tempting one.

Liverpool price to sell Darwin Nunez set

Liverpool are said to be holding out for €70 million, and for a club with Al-Hilal’s resources, that should not be a problem. Unlike potential Serie A suitors, who would likely struggle to match such a figure, the Saudi outfit can afford to move swiftly and decisively.

From a financial standpoint, this could prove an excellent piece of business for the Reds. Recouping close to the original fee paid to Benfica would offer breathing room as the club targets a record-breaking move for Alexander Isak, a striker far more in line with Slot’s tactical blueprint.

Darwin Nunez has given Liverpool fans unforgettable moments. From thunderous goals to passionate celebrations, he has been an agent of chaos with a heart on fire. But in football, sentiment rarely trumps structure, and Liverpool’s ambitions now require a clinical edge up front.

With Luis Diaz already sold to Bayern Munich and further departures expected, the sale of Darwin Nunez would continue what has been a summer of significant transition at Anfield. Arne Slot appears unafraid to make bold decisions, and shipping out the Uruguayan international might just be the most telling of them all.

All eyes now turn to Al-Hilal’s next move. If their interest turns into a formal offer, Liverpool will have a serious decision to make, one that could shape the club’s attacking future for years to come.

For Nunez, it is a potential path toward a starring role and financial security. For Liverpool, it is a chance to reset and reinvest. And for the fans, it may soon be time to say goodbye to one of the most unpredictable and unforgettable players of the Klopp era.
