Liverpool hit £190m sales as Darwin Nunez exits in Alexander Isak transfer boost

Liverpool are set to take their summer sales to £190m as Darwin Nunez edges closer to an exit.

Nunez, 26, is set to move to the Saudi Pro League with Liverpool reaching an agreement with Al-Hilal to the tune of €53million (£46.3). According to The Times, Liverpool will look to reinvest that money into their forward line.

Arne Slot's side have been tracking Alexander Isak this summer, with the Newcastle outcast training alone upon his return to the North East. However, it would take a British record fee to coax him to the River Mersey.

The Reds have already seen their initial approach of £110million for Isak rebuffed by Newcastle. And current reports suggest they aren't prepared to make a second offer, with the Magpies valuing him at around £150million.

The Uruguayan was highly-rated when he moved from Benfica to Liverpool for an initial fee of £64million back in the summer of 2022.

However, he has struggled to live up the potential he promised in Portugal and has scored 40 goals in 143 appearances.

He also only started eight Premier League games during Liverpool's title-winning campaign last season.

Nunez has been linked with the exit door this summer - with reports suggesting he was tracked by teams in Serie A and the Saudi Pro League. However, it's the latter that looks to be the striker's next destination.

Liverpool have spent around £300m so far this summer transfer window on Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, Giorgi Mamardashvili, Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman - meaning their net spend is now just shy of £110m.
