Liverpool 'were very close' to agreeing deal to sell Darwin Nunez in January - but three reasons caused the club to change their mind Liverpool rejected two bids for Darwin Nunez in January, with Al-Nassr offering the Reds in excess of £62million for the Uruguayan to join Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, according to a report.
In their bid to win an unprecedented three trophies in Arne Slot's first season on Merseyside, the Reds still see Nunez as an important piece in the Dutchman's current plans, which is another reason why they were hesitant to let him go.
The Saudi outfit were thought to be in deep negotiations with Nunez and were confident in getting the move over the line if Liverpool were willing to let him go.
Before getting their hands on Jhon Duran, Al-Nassr wanted to bring Nunez to the kingdom, but Liverpool were reluctant to sell the out-of-form striker.
However, Liverpool did not let Nunez go because they did not have a replacement lined up.
