Al Hilal reach verbal agreement for Darwin Nunez transfer with Liverpool

In a stunning development that could send shockwaves across the footballing world, Saudi Arabian powerhouse Al Hilal have reached a verbal agreement with Liverpool FC for the transfer of Darwin Núñez.

The 25-year-old Uruguayan striker, who joined Liverpool from Benfica in 2022 in a deal that could reach £85 million, has been the subject of ongoing speculation regarding his future at Anfield. While Núñez showed flashes of brilliance during his time with the Reds—scoring crucial goals and terrorizing defences with his pace—his inconsistency in front of goal and recent form left many questioning whether he fits into Jürgen Klopp’s long-term plans.

According to reliable transfer sources, Al Hilal have now verbally agreed terms with Liverpool, marking a major step forward in their aggressive summer recruitment strategy.
