Núñez was close to joining Ronaldo at Al Nassr in the winter transfer window

Liverpool forward Darwin Núñez has struggled to establish himself as a regular under Arne Slot, which nearly led to a winter move for the Uruguayan striker.

Details: According to Daily Express, Núñez held advanced negotiations with Saudi club Al Nassr during the winter transfer window. However, the deal collapsed due to Liverpool’s reluctance to sell, as the club ultimately pulled out of discussions.

Reports suggest that the Reds could have earned up to €75 million for the Uruguayan, excluding bonuses. Talks were also held directly with the player, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s club showed serious interest. However, Liverpool rejected the offer as they were unable to secure a suitable replacement.

Reminder: Earlier, it was reported that one of Slot’s key players, Trent Alexander-Arnold, has resumed training.
