Liverpool are already aware of the likely outcome about future of Darwin Nunez as Al-Hilal eyes a last-minute move.
Al-Hilal Pushes for Nunez Before Club World Cup Cut-Off
Darwin Nunez’s time at Liverpool could soon come to an end this June. Reportedly, Al-Hilal is making a final push before the Club World Cup deadline. The Saudi Arabian side has kept a close eye on the striker and could make an official move by Tuesday. That is their last chance to sign new players ahead of the tournament.
The Uruguayan has struggled to find form under Arne Slot. He has managed just seven goals across all competitions this season. His drop in form saw him benched regularly. That includes the final stretch of the league despite other players getting game time.
The Reds’ are searching for a new No. 9 this June. They are also expecting the arrival of Florian Wirtz. Given that, it points out that Darwin will likely leave soon.
Liverpool May Cash In as Nunez Eyes New Chapter
With interest from Al-Hilal still strong, Tuesday might be Liverpool’s best window to cash in on Nunez. The 25-year-old has rejected a move to Al-Nassr earlier this year. But, it could now be open to a change, especially with limited game time at Anfield.
Al-Hilal are drawn into a challenging Club World Cup group featuring Real Madrid and RB Salzburg. They are eager to add firepower. They also had an eye on Victor Osimhen. But, he reportedly spoke to Liverpool but turned down a move to the Saudi side last week.
It looks like Nunez’s Premier League run is likely ending. Al-Hilal are also chasing silverware, so this deal could be the solution both parties need. For the English champions, this transfer could clear the way for a more clinical front line in the next campaign.
