Liverpool's Darwin Nunes has become the subject of strong transfer interest with the Saudi Professional League giants Al Hilal is said to be planning to make a huge offer To lure the Uruguayan striker away from Anfield.
according to Watch AnfieldAl Hilal is prepared to offer Nunez a staggering wage of £400,000 per week, which is more than double his current wage at Liverpool, which is around £140,000 per week.
Al Hilal is preparing to offer Darwin Nunez an amazing contract
This proposed salary would exceed any wage ever paid to a Liverpool player, even exceeding Mohamed Salah's £350,000-a-week contract.
The lucrative financial package is believed to be the main reason why Nunez did not reject this proposal, despite his preference to continue his career in European football.
The financial clout of Saudi Professional League clubs has been a game-changer in recent transfer markets, and their willingness to offer Liverpool a hefty transfer fee could make it difficult for the Reds to ignore this deal.
While the exact fee that Al Hilal is willing to pay remains undisclosed, it is understood to be significant, adding to the speculation surrounding Nunez's future.
The Saudis are not alone in their pursuit. Serie A giants AC Milan have reportedly shown interest in the striker. Reports indicate Milan has made direct contact with Liverpool regarding the loan dealincluding an option to buy for 45 million euros at the end of the season.
This may appeal to Liverpool, especially if Nunez's struggles continue. The striker has failed to justify his massive £85m transfer fee since joining from Benfica in 2022.
Nunez's journey with Liverpool has been a disappointment
The Uruguayan's time at Liverpool was marked by inconsistency. In his first season in the Premier League, he scored just nine goals in 29 league matches, falling short of expectations.
His second season showed modest improvement, as he scored 11 goals and eight assists in 36 matches in all competitions. However, his wastefulness in front of goal and inconsistent performances have made him a frustrating figure.
Under new coach Arne Slott, the striker has struggled to secure a regular starting role. Starting behind Diogo Jota in the pecking order, Nunez only made a handful of appearances following the Portuguese's injury. Even then, Slott later turned to Luis Diaz in an imaginary nine role, a role in which the Colombian excelled, limiting Nunez's chances.
Despite these challenges, his raw talent remains undeniable. The 25-year-old has contributed 37 goals and provided 20 assists in 119 appearances for Liverpool, showing glimpses of the potential that made him a sought-after player during his time at Benfica.
With him Confidence seems low Given his limited role in the team, the possibility of benefiting from him and recovering money through a large sale, especially with the huge financial package from Al Hilal, may be attractive to both the player and the club.
It remains to be seen whether Nunez will decide to stay and fight for his place at Liverpool or will choose to move away to revive his form.
