**Contract Extension**
Liverpool is likely to approve Nunez’s transfer to Saudi Arabia in the summer. Additionally, the club is reportedly interested in a record-breaking move for Alexander Isak.
At 25 years old, Nunez has both impressed and frustrated fans at Anfield, with his inconsistent playmaking, struggles with offside traps, and finishing. This season, Liverpool manager Arne Slot has preferred Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz over Nunez in the striker role.
Fabrizio Romano reports that Liverpool nearly sold Nunez to Saudi club Al-Nassr in January, but the deal fell through. The timing, with Liverpool still competing in multiple competitions, and the unavailability of potential replacements were key factors in the decision.
However, Romano has now confirmed that Saudi clubs, including Al-Hilal, remain interested in Nunez, and the expectation is that a move to the Saudi Pro League will happen in the summer.
In a related development, Liverpool is planning a major summer transfer window. With a history of making a profit on transfers, the club is positioned to make big moves. One of their targets is Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, who is valued at £150 million, although Liverpool could potentially negotiate down to £120 million.
This would make Isak’s transfer the most expensive in Premier League history. If Newcastle misses out on Champions League qualification, Isak is reportedly open to a move to Anfield.
In other news, Mohamed Salah is eager to extend his contract with Liverpool, with his agent reportedly in active discussions with the club to finalize the agreement.
