Overview

  • Nunez has joined Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal for an initial £46.2 million fee, with add-ons taking the total to £56.6 million.
  • His departure concludes a three-year spell at Anfield during which he scored 40 goals in 143 appearances after arriving for an initial £64 million in 2022.
  • The sale is Liverpool’s seventh outbound deal this window and lifts their total income from player departures to nearly £200 million.
  • Liverpool have already recruited Hugo Ekitike and are now pursuing Newcastle’s Alexander Isak as their new leading centre-forward.
  • A recent ban on Al-Hilal from the 2026-27 Saudi Super Cup means Nunez will miss at least one potential trophy opportunity next season.
