Liverpool, July 15, 2025 — Saudi Arabian interest in Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez has intensified in recent days, with clubs from the Saudi Pro League making contact to explore a potential transfer, according to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Several teams reportedly backed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) are already working behind the scenes to lay the groundwork for a deal. While no official offer has been submitted yet, early talks have begun as part of a growing effort to lure the Uruguayan forward to the Middle East.
Núñez, 26, joined Liverpool from Benfica in 2022 for a fee that could rise to £85 million. Despite mixed form and criticism during his time at Anfield, he remains a highly valued asset within the squad, known for his pace, intensity, and attacking presence.
Liverpool have yet to make a public stance on the matter, but the club is expected to weigh all offers carefully, especially if the financial package from Saudi Arabia proves substantial. With the Saudi Pro League continuing to attract global stars and push ambitious projects, the pursuit of Núñez is seen as part of a broader strategy to add younger, top-tier European talent to their ranks.
For now, the situation remains open, with the final decision likely to rest on both Liverpool’s valuation and Núñez’s willingness to make the move.
