Liverpool get rid of record-breaking player

Liverpool sold Darwin Nunez to Al-Hilal for £46m, accepting a heavy loss compared to the time they brought him from Benfica.

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

Liverpool want to offload the Uruguayan striker after spending £79m to bring in 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 .

Earlier this year, Al-Nassr made a £60m bid for Nunez, but Liverpool turned it down at the time because they were in the Premier League title race.

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