Darwin Nunez Getting Close to the Exit Door at Anfield, Liverpool Receives Several Big Offers

The Shiro Copr– Liverpool is expected to sell Darwin Nunez in this summer transfer window.

Reported from the page The Mirror On Wednesday (7/16), several clubs showed great interest in signing the Uruguayan striker.

AC Milan is reported to have made an offer of EUR 52 million or IDR 982 billion, while approaches also came from the Saudi Pro League.

Al Hilal has become one of the serious contenders in the hunt for Darwin. The Saudi Arabian club is considering the Liverpool player as an alternative if they fail to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

Their new coach, Simeone Inzaghi, is said to have recommended Darwin to the club's management.

Al Hilal had previously reached an initial agreement with Napoli to bring in Osimhen.

However, the Nigerian striker rejected an attractive offer of EUR 40 million, which is Rp755 billion per year, before the Club World Cup, causing the efforts to reach an impasse.

This situation opens up a big opportunity for Darwin to leave Anfield. Liverpool is reported to be willing to sell the striker for around EUR 70 million or Rp1.3 trillion, which is lower than his purchase price of EUR 85 million or Rp1.6 trillion from Benfica in 2022.

Besides Al Hilal and Milan, Napoli is also mentioned as a strong competitor in the race for Darwin. The club, now coached by Antonio Conte, continues to be linked with the South American striker.

Nevertheless, the latest report from Saudi Arabia states that Milan is the one who has already submitted a formal offer.

It is known that Darwin recently scored a goal in Liverpool's pre-season match against Preston North End.

Darwin took advantage of the opponent's defensive mistake and successfully beat the goalkeeper to score a goal, also leading Arne Slot's team to a 3-1 victory.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have started considering a number of candidates to replace Darwin. One name that has emerged is Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace.

The French striker scored 14 goals last season and was reported to have been approached by Liverpool officials during a meeting in Paris, with transfer value estimates reaching EUR 40-50 million or IDR 755 billion to IDR 944 billion. (*)
