Football/ Mercato: Al-Hilal close to signing Darwin Núñez from Liverpool
Al-Hilal is on the verge of completing a deal for Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. A verbal agreement has already been reached between the clubs, and negotiations over personal terms with the Uruguayan forward are progressing well.
The final decision now rests with Núñez, but talks are advancing positively.
Al-Hilal’s manager, Simone Inzaghi, is pushing hard for the signing, seeing Núñez as a key addition to his attack.
Liverpool, who have already secured young striker Hugo Ekitike, appear willing to let the 26-year-old leave.
Núñez, who scored just seven goals last season, could view this move as a fresh start in Saudi Arabia, while Al-Hilal continues its ambitious recruitment drive.
