Darwin Nunez has sparked further speculation about his future at Anfield with a mysterious social media post. The Uruguayan striker, who has been the subject of transfer rumours throughout the summer, has faced increased scrutiny in the lead-up to Liverpool's Premier League title win.
The 26-year-old demonstrated his scoring prowess during Monday's pre-season double-header against Athletic Club. However, recent reports suggest that Saudi Pro League team Al-Hilal is showing interest in Nunez.
Despite these rumours, Liverpool are yet to receive any new offers from Saudi Arabia this summer. A previous bid from Al-Nassr was turned down in January as Liverpool aimed to keep their attacking options open. Napoli also made an approach this summer, but it fell short of Liverpool's valuation.
As Liverpool prepared for their final match at Anfield before their Premier League opener against AFC Bournemouth on August 15, many speculated that it could be Nunez's last appearance at the stadium.
Adding fuel to the fire, Nunez posted a cryptic message on social media. Alongside celebratory photos from his goal-scoring performance against the Spanish team, the Uruguayan shared a red heart emoji and a picture of him tapping the Liverpool badge, indicating he is happy to stay with the Premier League champions.
Earlier this week, reports emerged that AC Milan had reached out to the representatives of the ex-Benfica star. The Serie A heavyweights have reportedly made the 26 year old their primary target as they aim to bolster their squad and reclaim their top spot for the first time since the 2021/22 season.
