Darwin Nunez is on the verge of leaving Liverpool, and it won’t just be a new chapter — it’ll be a golden one.
According to reports (via Sacha Tavolieri), the Uruguayan striker has been offered a contract by Al Hilal that would see him earn up to $25 million per season.
That works out to around £346,000 per week, a wage that firmly places him in the superstar bracket.
The 26-year-old forward joined Liverpool in 2022 from Benfica in a deal worth up to £85 million.
Now, just two seasons later, he’s preparing to trade Premier League football for life in the Saudi Pro League.
Al Hilal have reportedly agreed terms with Liverpool, with the clubs shaking hands on a deal.

When can Darwin Nunez fly for Al-Hilal medical?
As transfer expert Fabrizio Romano put it: “350% done between clubs. Waiting for details to be clarified on player side, talks ongoing. If Darwin accepts, he can fly any moment for medical.”
The final hurdle appears to be personal terms, but those too seem to be close to the finish line.
Several sources suggest Nunez has given the green light to join the Saudi club, with only paperwork left before he jets off for his medical.
Romano even stated, “He can fly any moment…” — making it clear that once the ink dries, his flight to Riyadh could be just hours away.
If all goes to plan, Nunez might not even be around for Liverpool’s Community Shield appearance this weekend.
His exit also continues a summer of change for Liverpool, who are reshaping their squad after their 2024/25 Premier League title win.
Nunez departs with 40 goals in 143 matches — not quite prolific, but enough to show there’s talent to tap into.
Now, he’s ready to chase goals — and goals bonuses — in the desert heat.
