Top story: Al-Hilal want Nunez

Al-Hilal have identified Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez as their primary target to bolster Simone Inzaghi's attack this summer. AC Milan also retain interest in the Uruguayan, but the Serie A side can't match the financial package being put together by the Saudi club.

Nunez came close to joining Al-Nassr during the January transfer window, but a move didn't materialize. Now, with Liverpool having already added Hugo Ekitike and still keen on signing Alexander Isak, selling Nunez to clear squad space and recoup funds is a more concrete outcome. (The Athletic)
