Liverpool had a major offer from Saudi Arabia for Darwin Nunez back in January, as exclusively revealed by Anfield Watch. Al-Hilal were the club in for him - they were willing to pay around £70m for the Uruguayan.

Liverpool said no, however, as they didn't want to lose a first-team regular mid-season. There are no such qualms this summer and Nunez is free to leave.
But there has been an issue with the deal. Al-Hilal turned their sights to Victor Osimhen, who is expected to leave Napoli permanently.
They've pushed and pushed for a deal but, per journalist Buchi Laba, Osimhen has finally turned down the move. He wants to remain in Europe with a top club and compete for honours.

Brian Priske returns to Sparta Prague as coach after a stint at Feyenoord
PRAGUE (AP) — Brian Priske has agreed to return to Sparta Prague on a multiple-year contract after a stint at Feyenoord, the Czech club said. Priske started at Sparta three years ago and immediately led the struggling team to its first title in nine years. He successfully defended the title last year and completed a double by winning the Czech Cup. Under Priske, Sparta reached the round of 16 in the Europa League where it was eliminated by Liverpool in the 2023-24 season. Last summer, Sparta agreed to release Priske before the end of his contract to take over at Feyenoord when Arne Slot became the Liverpool manager. Priske led Feyenoord in 33 games in all competitions, won the Dutch Super Cup and advanced from the league phase of the Champions League but was fired in February due to inconsistent results in the domestic league. ___
