Al Hilal Step Up Pursuit of Darwin Núñez with Lucrative Contract Proposal

Al Hilal have officially presented a contract offer to Liverpool striker Darwin Núñez as talks over a potential transfer advance. The Saudi Arabian champions are now waiting for Liverpool to respond to their growing interest in the Uruguayan forward.

WHAT HAPPENED?

After several days of discussions about the project and vision at Al Hilal, the club has now followed up with a formal contract proposal for Darwin Núñez, detailing salary and long-term incentives. Al Hilal have made Núñez their top transfer target and are stepping up efforts to lure him from Liverpool. Talks with the player and his representatives have intensified, as Al Hilal have made an offer to sign Darwin Núñez and are in advanced talks to acquire the striker, but Liverpool are yet to receive an official transfer bid and are awaiting the next steps from the Saudi club.

WHY AL HILAL WANT NÚÑEZ

Al Hilal, the reigning Saudi Pro League champions, are seeking to reinforce their attack ahead of their AFC Champions League campaign and reclaim their domestic title after finishing 2nd last time around. The team finished the most recent Saudi Pro League season in 2nd place, behind Benzema’s Al Ittihad. Núñez had a challenging season at Liverpool, scoring 13 goals and providing 8 assists in the Premier League, as Liverpool finished as Premier League winners. Al Hilal believe his pace, strength, and experience in European football can help them maintain their dominance both in Saudi Arabia and Asia.

WHAT NEXT FOR LIVERPOOL AND AL HILAL

Liverpool are waiting for an official transfer proposal before opening negotiations. The Merseyside club are aware of Al Hilal’s interest, and talks are expected to begin soon. Liverpool’s next fixture is in the opening round of the Premier League against Bournemouth, where they will hope to start the new campaign strongly. Al Hilal, meanwhile, are preparing for the start of their league season and will open against Al-Fateh as they aim to retain their crown, with Al Nassr only three points behind them in last season’s standings.
