Liverpool have received contact from Al-Hilal with regard to a transfer for Darwin Nunez, and Jarell Quansah remains on the radar of Bayer Leverkusen.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
Saudi Arabia’s rumoured interest in a summer move for Nunez has now been confirmed by the Athletic‘s David Ornstein, with contact being made on Monday by Al-Hilal.
The reporter said that “the Saudi Pro League team were made aware about the conditions of a move” and “Nunez is thought to favour staying in Europe — Spain and Italy being a priority.”
He also named Atletico Madrid among the parties considering the Uruguayan.
It is expected that Nunez will command a transfer fee of at least £59 million, the amount Liverpool rejected from Al-Nassr in January.
With the Reds spending big on Florian Wirtz, it stands to reason that they may need to secure a move for Nunez before going back into the market for a striker of their own.

Liverpool FC: On this day
Back in 1996, football fever hit the country as England hosted the European Championships and Liverpool was one of the host cities.
Four fixtures were played at Anfield in total, including the group match on June 11 between Italy and Russia that finished 2-1 to Arrigo Sacchi’s Italian side.
Looking to the future, Anfield hasn’t been selected as a venue for the 2028 Euros, but the competition will still be coming to Merseyside with Everton‘s Hill Dickinson Stadium being selected by the FA.
