Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal has now agreed a fee to sign Darwin Nunez from Liverpool. The 26-year-old was targeted by multiple clubs across Europe.
Napoli wanted to sign the Uruguayan as well as Juventus. However, the high asking price from Liverpool prevented most clubs from placing a bid for the striker.
However, Saudi clubs have money to spend. Al-Hilal wanted to sign a top striker this summer. They were also targeting Victor Osimhen, who chose Galatasaray.
That is why Al-Hilal wanted to get this Darwin Nunez deal done as soon as possible. The Saudi club have already agreed a fee with Liverpool.
The Reds are expected to receive €53 million plus add-ons for Nunez. The Uruguayan will sign a three-year contract with Al-Hilal. His contract will be valid till 2028.
As revealed by Fabrizio Romano, Darwin Nunez had already given the green light to the move, and only minor details of the contract were left to be sorted.
Now, everything is done and dusted, and after the medical tests, Darwin Nunez will officially sign as the new Al-Hilal player.
The Uruguayan is the latest acquisition in the Saudi Pro League, which already hosts football stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Sadio Mane.
Darwin Nunez signed for Liverpool in 2022. The 26-year-old played 143 games for the Reds. He has netted 40 times and assisted 26 times.
In terms of trophies, the Uruguayan has won the Premier League with Liverpool last year and won the Carabao Cup in 2024 and the Community Shield in 2022/23.
So, it will be exciting to see how Darwin Nunez performs in the Saudi Pro League.
