Darwin Nunes will continue his career at Al Hilal. The striker, who spent the last three years at Liverpool, has signed a three-year contract with the Saudi Arabian club. The transfer was announced by both clubs.

Financial details were not revealed, but British media claim that the Saudis paid 53 million euros to the Anfield team for the 26-year-old.

"Al-Hilal are delighted to announce the signing of Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez from Liverpool on a three-year contract. He has already joined the squad during the pre-season training camp in Germany," the Saudi side said on their website.

Nunes moved to Liverpool in June 2022 from Benfica for 75 million euros but showed no consistency and recorded 40 goals and 26 assists in 143 games in all competitions.

Al Hilal became the first Asian club to beat a Premier League team in an official match when they beat Manchester City at the Club World Cup in the United States last month.

Simone Inzaghi's team are aiming to secure a record 20th league title this season after finishing second in the Saudi Professional League last season. Their other signing in the transfer window is Theo Hernandez from Milan. | BGNES
