Darwin Nunez's time at Liverpool has been tumultuous, leading to speculation about his future. The Uruguayan joined Liverpool for approximately $85 million but has struggled to meet performance expectations, contributing to fan discontent despite decent statistics. A potential contract clause complicates matters; Nunez could activate a financial trigger with one more start, prompting Liverpool to pay Benfica an additional $5.7 million. This situation has stirred rumors of a departure, potentially to clubs in Saudi Arabia, where several former teammates compete.
Recent reports revealed that a clause in Nunez's contract means that if he makes one more start for Liverpool, then the club will have to pay around $5.7m to Benfica as he would have started 60 matches.
Liverpool manager, Arne Slot, denied claims that Liverpool are not starting the striker for financial reasons but this uncertainty has ignited rumours over a move away from Anfield.
However, it is not just veteran players that have joined the Saudi Pro League with players like Jhon Duran, Ivan Toney and Gabriel Viega joining in their early/prime stages.
At 25, Nunez could potentially look for new opportunities, including a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia with several clubs interested in acquiring his services.
