Darwin Nuñez is the latest big name to play in Saudi football. This Saturday, Liverpool has announced the departure of the striker, that will play in Saudi Arabia for Al Hilal.

The Reds, who have already secured the signing of Hugo Ekitiké and are expecting to finalize the arrival of Alexander Isak in the coming days, will receive 53 million euros from the deal, plus bonuses. Darwin signs a three-year contract.

Darwin arrived at Anfield after a season of 34 goals at Benfica. He spent three seasons with Liverpool, scoring 40 goals and providing 22 assists in 143 games. With no space in the squad, he was also sought after by Napoli, but it was Al Hilal who met the figures requested by the English club.
