Liverpool turned down a bumper bid from Saudi Arabia for Núñez in January, believed to be from Al Hilal. Reports claim it was worth as much as £70 million ($92.7 million), which Liverpool did not believe was enough to disrupt their push for the Premier League title.

Darwin Nunez’s time at Liverpool might be heading for its final whistle, as talks with Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal continue to gain ground. The Uruguayan striker is now being seriously considered by the Saudi giants, with discussions already underway.

Al Hilal have identified Darwin Nunez as their priority target to strengthen in attack and are now stepping up efforts aimed at landing the Liverpool striker. Nunez was wanted by another Saudi Arabian club — Al Nassr — during the January transfer window before Al Hilal were told the conditions of a deal after contacting Liverpool in June.
