Liverpool have agreed a €65 million (£56.6m) transfer fee to sell Darwin Nunez to Al-Hilal, according to reports.
The Uruguay international struggled for playing time under Arne Slot last season, starting just eight games in the Premier League.
Liverpool have been open to cashing in on Nunez this summer and the forward has attracted interest from Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.
But according to Sky Sport Italy, Liverpool and Al-Hilal have now reached an agreement over a €65m (£56.6m) fee for the 26-year-old.
The report adds that the Saudi Pro League side have accepted Nunez’s salary demands and a contract is now being finalised.
