Liverpool was approached twice by Saudi Pro League team Al-Nassr for Darwin Nunez during the January transfer window. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Al-Nassr had engaged in over three rounds of direct discussions with the player and his representatives. The Saudi team was keen to team him up with Cristiano Ronaldo. Their second offer was said to be near Liverpool's valuation, and a financial agreement was almost finalized. Nunez was reportedly open to the transfer, but Liverpool declined to approve the deal, concerned they wouldn't secure a suitable replacement promptly.

Liverpool nearly completed the sale of Darwin Nunez to Al-Nassr in January before ultimately deciding against it. There was significant interest in Nunez during that time, and Fabrizio Romano reported that he was on the verge of departing. The two clubs had almost finalized the financial terms of Nunez's transfer, and the player seemed receptive to the prospect of a profitable move to Saudi Arabia. Nevertheless, the deal fell through when Liverpool chose to cancel it to avoid risking their successful season under Arne Slot.

According to The Sun, Darwin Nunez was among the top targets for Al Nassr prior to their acquisition of Jhon Duran. The Saudi club reportedly proposed an offer exceeding 80 million euros for the Uruguayan forward. Nevertheless, Liverpool outrightly rejected this offer, as the club was not contemplating Nunez's departure during the winter transfer window. Despite his limited utilization this season, Liverpool considers him essential for their ambitions in the Premier League and Champions League. Having joined Liverpool for 100 million euros from Benfica in 2022, Nunez could become a pivotal figure in the summer transfer market.

90min reports on Liverpool's firm stance regarding Darwin Nunez's future at the club.

Al Nassr lodged a colossal £85m offer to Liverpool for Darwin Nunez. However, the approach was immediately knocked back by Liverpool, with the club banking on Nunez to play a significant role over the second half of the season.

Saudi Arabian clubs have shown interest in the 25-year-old player. Al-Nassr is reportedly looking to bolster their attacking lineup once Anderson Talisca, who was previously a transfer target for Liverpool, makes a move back to Turkey. Liverpool has been approached with an extraordinary £70 million offer for Darwin Núñez from Al-Hilal, but the Merseyside club declined the offer, as they value their striker closer to £85 million. Sources suggest that Liverpool might consider negotiating at £75 million, with Michael Edwards taking the lead in the discussions. This potential transfer could also facilitate the arrival of Stefanos Tzimas at Liverpool.
