Al Hilal have completed the signing of Darwin Nunez from Liverpool.<\/p>\n

The Athletic reported on Thursday<\/a> that Nunez had been given permission to travel to Germany, where Al Hilal were based for a training camp, to undergo a medical with the Saudi club ahead of a move worth \u20ac53million (\u00a345.9m; $61.7m) plus bonuses.<\/p>\n

Liverpool expect the deal to ultimately be worth around \u20ac65m once the achievable performance related add-ons are triggered.<\/p>\n

The move brings to an end Nunez\u2019s three-year stay at Anfield after he arrived from Benfica for an initial fee of \u20ac75m in 2022.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old came close to leaving in January but Liverpool rejected an approach worth around \u20ac70m<\/a> (\u00a360m, $81m) from Al Nassr, as they prioritised winning the Premier League title.<\/p>\n

Liverpool believe that approach was vindicated, as he made a number of vital contributions as Liverpool were crowned champions.<\/p>\n

Nunez wanted to pursue a move in January and this summer his agent reiterated that desire to embark on a new challenge after finding his game time limited under Arne Slot.<\/p>\n

Milan also showed an interest in signing Nunez, though it was considered unlikely that the Serie A club would be able to match Al Hilal\u2019s financial package, while Napoli also monitored his situation.<\/p>\n

The striker made 143 appearances for Liverpool and scored 40 goals. He played in 30 league games last season but only eight of those came as a starter, scoring five times in the title-winning campaign.<\/p>\n

Liverpool are planning to sign a forward to replace Nunez but have already strengthened in forward areas this summer with the addition of Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. They have also had a \u00a3110million bid for Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak rejected.<\/p>\n

Alongside Ekitike, Liverpool have signed Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen this summer and Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
