According to the Middle East newspaper, Uruguayan striker Nunez, who currently plays for Liverpool, has become one of the Saudi league's targets for signing this summer.

The four clubs under the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), Riyadh Crescent, Riyadh Victory, Jeddah United and Jeddah Nationals, have included Nunez as one of the recruiting targets. If these clubs hope to introduce strikers this summer, Nunez will be the focus. According to sources, Riyadh Victory submitted a verbal offer to Liverpool on January 18, hoping to introduce Nunez, but was directly rejected by Liverpool. At that time, Liverpool was in a critical period of four-line battles, so he refused to sell players in the winter window. After that, Riyadh Victory turned to sign Colombia striker Duran.

Note: Although the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) provides financial support to the four clubs mentioned above, the specific signing decisions are handled by each club.
