Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez aiming for an exit has found his new home as per the latest reports. Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal has agreed terms (£46 million) for Nunez. If the player agrees to personal terms, the deal will be completed as the Saudi side gears up for the coming season.

With the arrival of Hugo Ekitike, Nunez’s exit from the Merseyside became more obvious. Having struggled in his past few seasons, the Urugyan International will try his talents in the Middle East. With the reports suggesting the personal terms to be agreed soon, the official announcements are yet to be made by either of the parties.

Initial Fee and Add-Ons: Breaking Down the Deal

Darwin Nunez from Liverpool to Al Hilal stands on a financial package that provides a clear insight into the deal’s structure. The initial fee stands at €53 million, as reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, marking the baseline amount agreed between the clubs.

While the personal terms are yet to be agreed, for Liverpool, this deal could yield a profit if the add-ons maximise the fee. Being active on the transfer market with recruitment like Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Ekitike, the Merseyside could be helped with some money coming in.

The add-ons, which could push the package higher, are likely tied to performance-based clauses such as goals scored and appearances. The terms could also be set on achievements like winning the Saudi Pro League or the AFC Champions League.

With confirmed exit reports signalling the end of Nunez’s tenure at Liverpool, his struggling career at the club comes into sharp focus. Despite showing flashes of potential, with 40 goals and 26 assists in 143 appearances across various competitions from 2022 to 2025.

Nunez has failed to consistently deliver the impact expected of a high-profile signing. His Premier League stats, including 5 goals in 30 matches in the 2024-25 season, highlight a lack of clinical finishing. The move away from Anfield could be a new start for Nunez as he aims to find his Benfica form back. Stay tuned for the latest transfer news on The Playoffs!
