I don't for 1 second think the there is anything in this but this is a rumours site after all.

Apparently AS ran a story claiming that Al-Hilal are prepared to offer £84M for Nunez to take him to Saudi.

I'm a big fan of Nunez but I don't think that anybody at the club could justify ignoring such an offer.

When we do eventually sell Nunez, we will be lucky to get half what we paid for him. No way are we making a profit.

13 Jan 2025 14:25:56
Is it not £8.4m?

13 Jan 2025 14:31:39
Did Al Hilal manager used to manage him at a previous club? could strengthen the link.

13 Jan 2025 14:56:40
Seems unlikely to me.

13 Jan 2025 15:06:48
If that's true it could £4.8m, JordanSimon.

8.40p.

The Al Hilal manager (Jorge Jesus) worked with Darwin Nunez at Benfica for 1 season. More or less their entire coaching staff are Portuguese as well which would make it much easier for Nunez to communicate and learn. It'd be a good move for him financially and in terms of regaining his confidence. I think he'd annihilate that league. Hopefully it happens this month so we can move on. For whatever reason it just hasn't worked out at Liverpool and maybe it'll give us the money to go after Victor Osimhen (ST) as posted by Macca last week.

There's been some seemingly pretty plausible links to Sam Beukema (CB), El Hadji Malick Diouf (LB), Milos Kerkez (LB) and Stefanos Tzimas (ST) as well in recent days. Could it be a busy January? There was obviously money to spend last summer which ultimately stayed unspent, so we definitely have the financial power to really back Slot this winter.

You would like to imagine the club are being proactive in trying to tie down long term targets. The silence doesn’t help Hughes who has struggled to even tie down the contracts for our 3 most important players.

I think one thing to note from the links we have seen is the fact the players we have been linked to in the past few days I have very rarely or at all heard mentioned. Would be interesting to see if Macca or anyone else has heard info on any potential Midfield/ Defensive signings.

{Ed001's Note - Hughes does not deal with contracts for current players!!!}

This is 100 percent true .

They want him.

Personal terms agreed .

Wait and see

Cheers

Macce.

Be nice that MK, both for us and Darwin. He’s just lost his way a bit and his confidence looks low, he’s still a decent player. Bit harsh Rigsby, I reckon we’d get £50m. I wouldn’t be surprised if Arsenal came in for him.

I’d like a LB, centre back, and centre mid, but that’s just being greedy. Out of the two I’m not sure which would be better, Kerkez or Diouf, not seen much of either.

If Nunez goes and Osimhen was to come in surely we can’t be agreeing the three new contracts as well, I just can’t see we’d have four players earning £250k plus a week.

13 Jan 2025 15:59:42
Cheers for the update Macca! You still think that might mean we push for Osimhen or would Tzimas be an alternative to him?

Great to have you back.

13 Jan 2025 16:07:05
Jordan, I really like Kerkez. He's great going forward and works hard defensively even though it's not his strong suit. Never seen Diouf or Tzimas play. Only seen Beukema once against us and he looked okay, but didn't jump out as anything special.

Osimhen would be an outstanding singing though in my opinion. I think he's as good as Haaland. Both rely on volume of chances more than clinical finishing. I watched Osimhen against Spurs this season and he scored 2 but he could've had 6. Like Haaland, Osimhen has that bullish approach in the box to power through defenders and physically dominate them to get on the end of chances. The air time he gets when challenging for headers is actually mental. If we signed him now, I think he'll score 15-20 goals in all competitions between now and the end of the season. Salah, Trent and Gakpo dropping crosses into the box for him? Yikes. He'd be well worth £250k a week (in football's strange reality of course, nobody really deserves that! ) .

13 Jan 2025 16:22:14
Sounds really exciting, kerkez and Osimhen it is then. Osimhen still pretty young as well so we’d get at least four years from him, be an amazing boost for the rest of the season.

13 Jan 2025 16:26:17
Is macca saying that Saudi club might be Nunez…. say what you like about the Saudi football, it sure has been beneficial for us!
I like Nunez but right for him to move him.

13 Jan 2025 16:30:33
It’s a shame, I really wanted him to come good but we need a guaranteed 20 goals per season striker really and he’s not quite there unfortunately.

Suffers a bit from being signed at the same time that Haaland moved to City and, as I mentioned in an earlier post, his stats aren’t appalling but just not quite good enough. If he goes then I’d wish him well.

13 Jan 2025 17:13:46
It was a joke, JS.
Nunez to Arsenal, that I would like to see. Nunez and Havertz in the same team.

13 Jan 2025 17:56:02
Wow, thanks Macca. Well, if a deal suits everyone, fine. But I would be worried if we sell him and don't bring someone in given the fitness concerns of Jota and Chiesa.

13 Jan 2025 18:05:15
Why not 74mil or 94 mil? Why 84mil?

13 Jan 2025 18:34:26
Brilliant Macca thank you.

13 Jan 2025 19:05:01
What a great point Leek!

What was the point you were making again?

13 Jan 2025 19:08:23
€84 million?

Deal deal deal!

Use it to throw at Newcastle (Isak) or Wolves (Cunha)

13 Jan 2025 19:19:52
Ron Isak is another Jota injury wise.

13 Jan 2025 19:41:52
If Darwin leaves then we should get Kavaraskhelia more than Oshimen.

13 Jan 2025 20:41:46
I’ll drive him to the airport myself.

13 Jan 2025 21:11:13
I read the article and the £84m was supposedly the cost we paid for Nunez including add ons using todays exchange rates and not the likely offer we’d get from the Saudi’s.

13 Jan 2025 21:45:04
Feel sorry for Nunez, but at the same time for the fee paid he hasn’t hit the mark. Glad Slot seems to have that ruthless streak about him. And if what Macca said is true we might indeed be busy this window.
