The Times reported that Riyadh Crescent negotiated Nunez's transfer with Liverpool, and the Uruguayan international is expected to move to the Saudi league.

It is reported that Riyadh New Moon is expected to pay about £46 million in the basic fee, and the transaction has floating terms. As relevant negotiations continue to advance, Nunes and Liverpool are gradually drifting away.

If Nunes himself agrees to the transfer, the two clubs are expected to reach a deal quickly, which will end his three-year career in Anfield. Riyadh Crescent, coached by Inzaghi Jr., and AC Milan have expressed interest in the Uruguayan striker, but it is the Saudi club that is actively promoting the matter.

Riyadh Crescent is in Germany's pre-season training camp, and they will play against TSG Bahringen on Wednesday night, while Liverpool is waiting for news of whether Nunes is willing to go to Germany to complete negotiations.

Naples intended to sign 26-year-old Nunez in the early stage of the transfer window, but Liverpool's asking price was too high for them. The Reds' initial asking price was about 70 million euros (60.6 million pounds). At the end of the transfer window in January this year, Riyadh victory made a similar offer but was rejected, but Liverpool's primary goal at the time was to compete for the Premier League championship.

However, in order to facilitate the finalization of the transaction, the basic transfer fee may be significantly reduced to about €53 million (£46.1 million), and the floating clause can further increase the total fee.

In the summer of 2022, Liverpool signed Nunez for an initial price of £64 million (up to £85 million), a transfer driven by former coach Klopp. Nunes' performance in the Champions League against Liverpool was impressive, leaving a deep impression on Klopp.

Although popular among some fans, Nunes has not become a reliable scoring point for the team. When Slot took office last summer, the outside world expected him to inspire the striker's best form, but Nunes scored only seven goals throughout the season and gradually faded out of Liverpool's main plan by the end of the season. Nunes had two goals from a key victory in January's away win over Brentford 2-0, a victory that was crucial to Liverpool's rush to the championship and explained to a large extent why fans still have a good impression of him.

Nuñez's departure will continue to promote Slot's transformation of the team's lineup. In addition, Elliot, which has attracted the attention of Red Bull Leipzig, and Chiesa, are also seeking to leave.
