Liverpool is preparing to strengthen its offensive ranks in the wake of Darwinnes’ imminent departure, with a £46 million agreement being implemented between Merseyside club and Al Hilal, the Saudi Professional League side.
According to journalist Paul Joyce, the deal is set to be completed soon, marking the end of Nunes’ spell at Anfield and opening the door for a re-shuffle at Liverpool’s forward line under manager Arn Slot.
The Uruguayan striker, arriving at Liverpool from Benfica, struggled to consistently meet expectations during his time at Merseyside.
