Striker seals £46m deal subject to international clearance

West Ham sign Mads Hermansen from Leicester for £18m

Darwin Núñez has completed his departure from Liverpool after his switch to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal was confirmed. The 26-year-old Uruguay striker has finalised the move for a fee understood to be an initial €53m (£46m).

Liverpool said the deal was complete, subject to international clearance, and added: “Everybody at the club would like to thank Darwin for his contributions and wish him and his family all the best for the future.”

Núñez moved to Anfield in June 2022 from Benfica for an initial fee of £64m. He scored 40 goals in 143 appearances for the Reds, but started just eight Premier League matches during their title-winning season last term.
