Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez has risked angering fans by joking about a move to Saudi Arabia for financial reasons.

Nunez, 25, was a target for Al-Nassr during the winter transfer window, with the Saudi Pro League side's second bid reportedly worth up to £62million.

Liverpool rejected the offers because they didn't have a replacement lined up and still view Nunez as an important part of Arne Slot's plans.

The Uruguayan has only scored six goals in his third season, failing to show why Liverpool bought him from Benfica in 2022 for a club-record fee worth £85m.

Slot's recent comments on the 25-year-old suggest that he still has faith in him, despite his lack of goals going into the crucial part of their season.

Should Liverpool sell Darwin Nunez to Saudi Arabia.

"If you only look at goals, he hasn't scored the amount of goals that he wants to score, or we want a number nine to score, but he does have impact in his work-rate.

He's part of a team that scores a lot of goals and is winning a lot.

"Of course, as a number nine you want to score more goals and that's definitely what he wants as well.

The fans support him so much that maybe he wants it too much."

Despite Slot making multiple changes to his line-up, Nunez started on the bench for Sunday's shock 1-0 defeat to Championship bottom dwellers Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup.
