Darwin Nunez departs Liverpool after three eventful years
Liverpool have sold striker Darwin Nunez to Saudi Pro-League club Al-Hilal for £46.2m, concluding his three-year tenure at Anfield. Nunez, who joined from Benfica for an initial £64m (potentially rising to £85m), scored 40 goals in 143 appearances for Liverpool, including seven in 47 games last season. The Uruguay international had expressed a desire to leave in January and attracted interest from Napoli and AC Milan, though neither met Liverpool's valuation. Nunez's sale contributes to Liverpool's summer transfer income of approximately £190m from various player departures, including Luis Diaz. Liverpool are now seeking to sign another attacker to bolster their squad, having had a £110m bid for Newcastle 's Alexander Isak rejected, and are hesitant to make a second offer.

Transfer news live: Liverpool dealt Isak blow, Arsenal hunt Eze, Garnacho to Chelsea
A summer transfer window dominated by the chase for centre forwards for many of the Premier League 's top clubs continues with Liverpool still pursuing Alexander Isak - but finding Newcastle resolute in their desire to keep the Swedish striker. Liverpool have sold Darwin Nunez to Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal for £46.3m, which should open up funds to bid again for Isak. Newcastle, however, have been clear that they do not wish to sell, even if Eddie Howe has admitted it is tricky to see a route back for the exiled forward. Manchester United, conversely, have got another major deal done. Benjamin Sesko was unveiled to supporters at Old Trafford a week before the start of the Premier League season and will join Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha in a new-look front three for Ruben Amorim, who has enjoyed a productive first summer transfer window. Arsenal are preparing to bolster their own forward line further by signing Crystal Palace 's Eberechi Eze. Palace want a fee in excess of £60m and an official offer could soon go in. Arsenal have also rejected a swap deal which have seen them sign Real Madrid's Rodrygo and send William Saliba the other way.
