The site "CaughtOffside" revealed that the transfer deal for Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunez from Liverpool to Napoli has officially collapsed, as other clubs prepare to move for him during the current summer transfer window.

According to the report, Liverpool insists on receiving €70 million for Nunez, despite his struggles to deliver his best performances since his transfer from Benfica.

The source clarified that the Saudi clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have shown the strongest interest so far in acquiring the player, while Barcelona and AC Milan are monitoring the situation without making any official offers yet.

Napoli was initially Nunez's preferred destination, but negotiations with the Italian club have stalled, while the player remains a candidate to leave if a suitable financial offer arrives.

The report indicated that the Saudi clubs seem the closest to meeting Liverpool's demands, awaiting the player's decision regarding his next destination.

In this context, the site explained that Liverpool has started to move to sign French striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt to compensate for Nunez after his impressive performance last season, contributing to 33 goals across all competitions.
