Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Hilal remain among the clubs keen on signing Liverpool<\/a> striker Darwin Nunez<\/a> this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Uruguayan looks set to leave Anfield after struggling to nail down a place in Arne Slot<\/a>‘s starting XI, with Luis Diaz<\/a> often depolyed out of position in the centre of attack during the Reds’ Premier League<\/a> title-winning campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Al-Hilal are in the market for a striker in the window after failing in their attempts to land Napoli forward Victor Osimhen<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Nigeria<\/a> star, who scored\u00a037 goals in 41 games while on loan at Galatasary last term, rejected a lucrative offer to join the side last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The club, who finished second in the Saudi top flight, remain interested in the Reds forward, who, despite several high-profile misses, has shown flashes of the quality that motivated the champions to part with a club-record \u00a385million fee to acquire his services from Benfica in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nunez scored just seven goals and provided five assists in 47 matches in all competitions for Slot’s side. He has three remaining on his contract at Anfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Al-Hilal <\/p>\n

Al-Hilal are competing in the Club World Cup and face Real Madrid in their opener on June 18<\/p>\n

Last month, reports in Italy claimed that Serie A champions Napoli were interested in signing the 25-year-old.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reports in Corriere dello Sport stated that Nunez is one of several high-profile names under consideration as Napoli look to strengthen their attack. Sporting director Giovanni Manna is leading the club’s transfer planning and seemingly sees Nunez as a player who could thrive in Serie A and help elevate the club’s European ambitions.<\/p>\n

Nunez has previously been linked with a move to fellow Saudi outfit Al-Nassr, whose approach to sign the striker was rebuffed by Liverpool in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Al-Hilal’s recent interest in the player could be motivated by their participation in the Club World Cup, which begins with a daunting clash against LaLiga giants Real Madrid on June 18.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Al-Hilal have spent big on the appointment of Simeone Inzaghi as head coach ahead of the tournament.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the side will need to complete the signing of the forward by 7pm on Tuesday for him to be available for the group stages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nunez’s Liverpool team-mate Luis Diaz is also attracting interest from the Gulf State, with Al-Nassr lurking in the background and poised to make an approach in the coming weeks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
