Liverpool offered hope of Darwin Nunez sale as Al-Hilal chief makes transfer vow

Club Friendlies

Liverpool

AC Milan

<p>Arne Slot is making changes to his squad this summer with Jeremie Frimpong having already arrived at Anfield. He is expected to be joined by Florian Wirtz and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/done-deal-liverpool-transfer-update-father/blteb332112c6b82a61" target="_blank">Milos Kerkez</a> as the Reds splash the cash. Exits are also expected before the start of the new campaign, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/darwin-nunez-stance-al-hilal-move-revealed-saudi-pro-league-plot-blockbuster-transfer-liverpool-striker/blt51ddd40e7f95a602" target="_blank">Nunez having been linked with Al-Hilal and Napoli</a>.</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/darwin-nunez-stance-al-hilal-move-revealed-saudi-pro-league-plot-blockbuster-transfer-liverpool-striker/blt51ddd40e7f95a602#cs62844a8cfc2ab7f7" target="_blank">Nunez is said to be open to a move to the Middle East</a>, with Liverpool willing to sell for around €60m (£51m/$69m). Amid speculation of a transfer to Al-Hilal, chief executive Esteve Calzada&nbsp;has opened up on his club's transfer plans and insisted Al-Hilal are targeting the world's top stars in a bid to strengthen their squad.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He told BBC Sport: "We are targeting the biggest players. We are very ambitious, but we need to see hunger from the player himself and the transaction needs to work out both ways. The only thing we've been trying to remind players and agents is that yes, we are from Saudi, but we don't print notes here! My role as CEO is to make sure we run the club efficiently, so that we can have the biggest budget possible to have big players, but not at any cost. That's why sometimes we basically walk away from negotiations, because we still want players extremely keen on coming, and not only looking for the money."</p>

WHAT AL-HILAL CHIEF SAID

<p>Nunez made just eight Premier League starts for Liverpool last season, meaning it would be no surprise if he did move on this summer. Liverpool may be hoping for a lucrative Saudi offer to arrive but will still likely have to take a big hit on a player who cost €85 million (£72m/$98m) just two years ago.</p><p></p>

WHAT NEXT FOR NUNEZ
