Liverpool Striker Darwin Nunez in Talks with Al Hilal Amid Transfer Speculation

SAUDI ARABIA – August 4, 2025 – Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez is at the center of transfer talks with Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal, according to reports from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Uruguayan striker, who has struggled to consistently impress at Anfield since his 2022 move from Benfica, is reportedly considering a lucrative offer from the Riyadh-based club. Al Hilal has presented Nunez with a detailed project and contract proposal, with financial discussions set to follow involving both the player and Liverpool.

The potential transfer comes as Liverpool explores options to bolster their attacking lineup, having recently pursued Newcastle’s Alexander Isak before securing Hugo Ekitike. Al Hilal, backed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), aims to strengthen its squad under manager Simone Inzaghi, who has identified Nunez as a priority target. No formal bid has been submitted yet, but sources indicate Liverpool has authorized preliminary negotiations.

Nunez’s future remains uncertain as the transfer window progresses, with the 26-year-old’s mixed performance record—highlighted by missed opportunities—prompting speculation about a move to the Saudi league. The deal could mark another high-profile signing for the increasingly ambitious Al Hilal, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 sports investment strategy.
