First offer made for Darwin Nunez

Clubs in Saudi Arabia are interested in the 25-year-old. Al-Hilal, managed by former Benfica boss Jorge Jesus, are in the market for someone to replace Neymar while Al-Nassr will be looking to strengthen their attack once Anderson Talisca, a one-time Liverpool transfer target, returns to Turkey.

Anfield Watch understands the Reds have turned down a verbal offer in the region of £70million for Darwin from Al-Hilal. The Merseyside club value their striker at closer to the £85million mark, as exclusively revealed earlier this week.It is thought that Liverpool will deal at £75million and the club are bullish about getting such a fee with Michael Edwards stepping in to handle negotiations.

Darwin’s departure could speed up the arrival of highly-rated Stefanos Tzimas.
