Al-Hilal has made contact with Nunez's representatives and is expected to submit a formal bid for the 25-year-old player. However, Nunez's performance in the last season was not impressive, with only 7 goals in 47 appearances. This has led to speculation that his place under manager Arne Slot may be at risk.

Al-Hilal had previously expressed interest in signing Napoli's Victor Osimhen, but the striker rejected the offer. As a result, Al-Hilal is now looking for a top striker who can score goals next season. If Liverpool can sell Nunez for the majority of the price they paid for him, it would be a successful deal for the club. They could then use the funds to sign Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz, who could be a suitable replacement for Nunez.
