The Saudi Pro League transfer train is rolling again—and this time, its next major stop could be Anfield. According to fresh reports, Darwin Núñez is increasingly likely to leave Liverpool, with Al-Ittihad making a strong push for the Uruguayan striker.

Despite being fully committed in preseason and showing top-tier professionalism, Núñez reportedly understands that his time at Liverpool is coming to an end. The writing has been on the wall for months, and those close to the situation have been hinting at a summer exit since February.

Al-Ittihad’s Proposal: Serious Talks Underway

Saudi giants Al-Ittihad have officially submitted a proposal to Núñez, following initial contact last Thursday and more detailed negotiations over the weekend. The club’s manager, Simone Inzaghi, has already personally spoken to the player, presenting the club’s project and vision.

The offer reportedly includes:

A major salary increase
A long-term contract
A key role in Al-Ittihad’s project alongside other top-level international stars

The ball is now in Darwin’s court. The project has been explained, the money is on the table—and a decision is expected soon.

Club-to-Club Agreement Not Expected to Be an Issue

Interestingly, sources suggest that Liverpool and Al-Ittihad are not far apart in terms of transfer fee negotiations. If Núñez gives the green light, the two clubs are expected to finalize the deal without major hurdles.

Decision Imminent

As of now, everything hinges on Darwin Núñez’s personal decision. Will he choose to remain in Europe and fight for his place under Arne Slot, or join the growing list of stars heading to Saudi Arabia?

One thing is clear: Al-Ittihad are pushing hard, and Núñez’s future is likely to be one of the defining transfer stories of the coming days.
