Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez is closing in on a move to the Saudi Pro League after the Reds reached an agreement in principle with Al-Hilal, however the Uruguayan could be handed an immediate setback. The 26-year-old's stint at Anfield looks to be coming to a head after a polarising chapter in his professional football career.

Liverpool headed into the summer transfer window expecting to sell Darwin Nuñez following a first season under manager Arne Slot where the Uruguayan striker had regressed. With the player turning 26 over the summer, it seemed as though everyone was in agreement it was time to move on for everybody’s sake.
