Darwin Nunez's future at Liverpool is currently uncertain, with clubs from Serie A and the Saudi Pro League reportedly interested in acquiring the Uruguayan international. Nunez, who joined Liverpool in the summer of 2022 for a then club-record £85 million, has struggled to secure a consistent spot in the starting eleven.

Several factors contribute to the speculation surrounding Nunez's potential departure. The arrival of Arne Slot as manager last summer has seen Nunez's role diminish, with the forward becoming more of a rotational option. Liverpool's pursuit of other attacking talents, such as Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, further suggests that Nunez's future at Anfield may be limited.

According to reports, Nunez himself is aware of the situation and is open to a move to the Saudi Pro League. Journalist Graeme Bailey reports that Nunez "agrees to a prospective move to Saudi Arabia" after accepting he needs to leave Europe. Nunez recognizes that he is unlikely to secure a move to another European club.

Several Serie A clubs initially expressed interest in Nunez, including Napoli and Juventus. However, Napoli has since signed Lorenzo Lucca, while Juventus are prioritizing a move for Randal Kolo Muani. This has made a move to the Saudi Pro League increasingly likely for Nunez.

Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli are viewed as the most realistic destinations for Nunez in the Saudi Pro League. Both clubs are reportedly willing to meet Liverpool's asking price of over £60 million. It has been reported that Nunez's camp has already agreed to personal terms with the Saudi Pro League. Liverpool are currently in discussions with the Saudi Pro League to finalize the transfer.

Despite the potential move to the Saudi Pro League, Nunez reportedly prefers to stay in Europe. However, no top European club is willing to match Liverpool's asking price. This leaves the Saudi Pro League as the most viable option for the 26-year-old.

Nunez's time at Liverpool has been marked by inconsistency, despite making 143 competitive appearances and winning three major titles, including the Premier League in 2024/25 and the League Cup in 2023/24. In the 2024/25 Premier League season, he made just eight starts and scored five goals.
