Liverpool have rejected a £70 million approach for Darwin Núñez

This text addresses Darwin Núñez's situation at Liverpool, including a rejected offer and the possibility that his departure could accelerate the signing of Stefanos Tzimas.

Darwin Núñez's Context at Liverpool:

Diogo Jota's injury gave Núñez an opportunity to start under Arne Slot.

However, his goalscoring record in the Premier League has been poor (only two goals this season).

He has lost his starting place to Luis Díaz, who plays as a centre-forward alongside Salah and Gakpo.

There was an expectation that Núñez would leave the club at the end of the season if Slot could not get the best out of him.

Saudi Arabian Interest and Rejected Offer:

Saudi Arabian clubs, specifically Al-Hilal (managed by Jorge Jesus, Núñez's former manager at Benfica) and Al-Nassr, have shown interest in the player.

Anfield Watch reports that Liverpool rejected a verbal offer of around £70 million for Núñez from Al-Hilal.

Liverpool values Núñez at around £85 million and would be willing to negotiate for £75 million.

Michael Edwards is reportedly involved in the negotiations.

Possible Arrival of Stefanos Tzimas:

Darwin Núñez's departure could accelerate the arrival of Stefanos Tzimas at Liverpool.

In summary:

Darwin Núñez has performed below expectations at Liverpool.

Al-Hilal offered around £70 million for Núñez, but Liverpool rejected the offer.

Liverpool values Núñez at £85 million and would negotiate for £75 million.

Núñez's possible departure could facilitate the arrival of Stefanos Tzimas
