JAKARTA - Front player Darwin Nunez has finally left Liverpool. However, Nunez will join Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.

Nunez's future puzzle has finally been answered. Although it is said that he will move to La Liga Spain or Serie A Italy, Nunez will join Al Hilal.

Liverpool reached an agreement with Al Hilal to release Nunez, who was previously the target of AC Milan. Al Hilal also bought the Uruguayan national team striker for 46 million pounds plus bonuses.

Interestingly, the price has decreased because Al Nassr, a rival Al Hilal in the Saudi Arabian Pro League, actually made an offer at a price of 60 million pounds in January 2025.

However, Liverpool rejected this lucrative offer from club Cristiano Ronaldo. The reason is that the Reds are chasing the Premier League title so they are not willing to release Nunez.

Liverpool, now, offer Nunez at low prices. Because the Premier League champions hope to reduce a number of players and decide to release Nunez. Especially after Liverpool spent 79 million pounds to bring in Hugo Ekitike.

In addition, Liverpool are still hunting for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak to increase the speed.

The problem is, Newcastle is only willing to release Isak at an expensive price of 150 million pounds. Liverpool had no other choice but to sell players in order to get Isak.

According to The Sun Liverpool, it has allowed Nunez to negotiate with Al Hilal. He is also free to fly to Saudi Arabia at any time to do a medical test and then sign a contract.

Al Hilal himself offers a three-year contract to Nunez who will receive a salary of 18.7 million pounds per year.

Nunez joined Liverpool in 2022. At that time, he was recruited from Benfica for 85 million pounds. This is the most expensive sale in Benfica's history. The purchase led Nunez to become the most expensive player in Portuguese football.

Moving to the Premier League, Nunez was able to adapt. His performance was actually not disappointing because Nunez was able to score 40 goals during his 143 appearances with Liverpool.

However, the player who led Liverpool to win the 2025 Premier League and Community Shield 2022 must accept the fact of leaving Anfield. Previously, Liverpool also sold Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich.

AC Milan had actually targeted Nunez. Only Milan was unable to compete with Al Hilal in terms of finance so that the Serie A club stopped hunting Nunez.
