Al Hilal Edge Closer to Darwin Núñez Capture After Agreement with Liverpool
Saudi giants Al Hilal are on the verge of making a major statement in the transfer market, having reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Liverpool for the signing of Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, both clubs have already settled the key terms of the deal, paving the way for negotiations over personal terms. The agreement marks a significant step forward, though the move is still dependent on Núñez’s final decision.
The 26-year-old forward, who joined Liverpool in 2022 from Benfica, has experienced both highs and challenges during his time at Anfield. Known for his explosive pace, tireless work rate, and eye for goal, Núñez remains a polarizing figure among fans, but his potential has never been in doubt.
Al Hilal, managed by Simone Inzaghi, are eager to bring him in as a marquee signing to spearhead their attack for the upcoming season. Inzaghi is believed to view Núñez as the perfect blend of youth, energy, and proven top-flight experience to complement the club’s ambitions domestically and in the AFC Champions League.
While Liverpool have given the green light for talks, they await an official bid and will be monitoring the negotiations closely. The Saudi Pro League side is optimistic they can convince the forward to embrace a new challenge in the Middle East, joining a growing list of high-profile names making the move.
With the transfer window clock ticking, all eyes now turn to Núñez himself, whose decision will ultimately determine whether this high-profile deal goes through.
