Fabrizio Romano reports that Al Hilal have reached a verbal agreement with Liverpool for Darwin Núñez. Talks over personal terms are ongoing, with Simone Inzaghi pushing hard for the deal to be finalised.
Darwin Núñez is now edging closer to a move to Al Hilal, with a club-to-club agreement in place and only personal terms left to finalise. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Saudi Pro League side have struck a verbal deal with Liverpool, and the ball is now in Núñez’s court.
This follows weeks of speculation and back-and-forth negotiations between all parties. With Simone Inzaghi eager to make Núñez his marquee striker, the transfer is moving rapidly toward completion.
What’s Been Agreed – and What’s Left
Liverpool and Al Hilal have agreed the financial package for Núñez’s transfer — believed to be worth around €95m (£81m) including bonuses. The deal is now pending personal terms, which are being discussed between Al Hilal officials and Núñez’s representatives.
The 26-year-old striker has not yet fully approved the move, but sources suggest he is seriously considering it, particularly with Al Hilal offering one of the most lucrative contracts in world football.
“Club to club agreement is done — it’s now up to Darwin Núñez to decide,” reported Fabrizio Romano. — August 6, 2025
What’s Been Agreed – and What’s Left
Liverpool and Al Hilal have agreed the financial package for Núñez's transfer — believed to be worth around €95m (£81m) including bonuses. The deal is now pending personal terms, which are being discussed between Al Hilal officials and Núñez’s representatives.
The 26-year-old joined Liverpool from Benfica in June 2022, in a deal worth an initial £64 million, rising to £85 million with add-ons — a figure that made him the most expensive signing in Liverpool’s history at the time.
He has since delivered flashes of brilliance but struggled for consistency during his three seasons at Anfield, making him a candidate for a high-value departure this summer.
What Núñez Could Earn in Saudi Arabia
Núñez currently earns an estimated £140,000 per week at Liverpool, but Al Hilal are prepared to more than triple his salary, offering a contract worth around £450,000 per week — or £23.4 million per year.
He would become one of the top earners in the Saudi Pro League, joining a long list of European stars who’ve moved to the Middle East over the last 18 months.

Analyst Verdict
This move could suit all sides. Liverpool recoup a significant fee for a player who’s struggled for consistency. Al Hilal get a physically dominant, high-upside striker to lead their front line. And Núñez gets a fresh start — and a massive payday.
While it’s not the European trajectory many predicted for the Uruguayan forward, it may be the reset his career needsafter a rollercoaster few seasons at Anfield.
