The Countdown Begins: Nunez's Liverpool Exit Looms

It looks like Darwin Nunez's time at Liverpool is rapidly coming to an end, and he could be leaving even sooner than the summer transfer window opens.

Once heralded as a potential star at Anfield, Nunez now finds himself out of favor, particularly under manager Arne Slot. The Dutch coach has opted for Luis Diaz in central roles, openly criticizing Nunez's work ethic—a striking statement given the Uruguayan's early promise.

Is This the Beginning of the End?

Nunez’s regression has raised eyebrows: he hasn't replicated his form from last season, seemingly aware that his days in Liverpool are numbered. With little left to fight for this season, rumors suggest his exit is nearly inevitable.

Saudi Pro League Ready to Pounce!

Back in January, whispers of interest from the Saudi Pro League surfaced, with Al-Hilal reportedly making a tempting offer that Nunez was keen to accept. After a stalled deal in January—thanks to Liverpool's reluctance to part ways midway through the season—Al-Hilal is expected to return with a more aggressive bid once Liverpool's campaign concludes.

A Window of Opportunity Appears

With Al-Hilal gearing up to participate in an expanded FIFA Club World Cup this summer, they're looking to finalize their squad early. Clubs in the tournament will have a unique signing window from June 1st to June 10th, allowing Nunez's potential departure to happen before summer officially kicks in on June 21st.

In addition to Al-Hilal's interest, Atletico Madrid is also lingering, eager to land the forward as they prepare for this prestigious tournament.

The Clock is Ticking!

Given the pressing timeline and Nunez's current standing within the team, it’s hard to see him sticking around at Anfield beyond this season. With the FIFA Club World Cup on the horizon, we could see Nunez departing Liverpool in a matter of weeks.

Keep your eyes peeled; Nunez's next chapter could unfold much sooner than expected!
