Darwin Nunez concluded his time at Liverpool as the Uruguayan forward moved to Al-Hilal on a three-year deal on Saturday. The Saudi Pro League club secured a transfer worth 53 million euros (£46.3 million) for the 26-year-old.
Nunez joined Liverpool in June 2022 from Benfica for an initial payment of £64 million, arriving with significant expectations. He scored 40 goals in 143 games for the Reds but started only eight Premier League matches during their championship-winning season last year.
A statement from Liverpool read: “Everyone at the club would like to express their gratitude to Darwin for his contributions and wish him and his family all the best for the future.”
Nunez has joined the Al-Hilal team at their pre-season training camp in Germany.
His exit may impact Liverpool’s efforts to acquire Swedish striker Alexander Isak, especially after Newcastle rejected an initial proposal of £110 million. Nunez departs Liverpool without achieving the lofty goals that were anticipated following his considerable transfer from Benfica.
There were memorable highlights that many on Merseyside will cherish: his late brace that secured a victory for 10-man Liverpool at Newcastle in August 2023, a dramatic last-minute goal against Nottingham Forest in March 2024, and two stoppage-time strikes against Brentford in January of this year, which ensured Nunez leaves England as a Premier League champion.
