Núñez to Feature in Community Shield as Transfer Speculations Swirl

Darwin Núñez’s Future at Liverpool

Darwin Núñez is poised to be included in Liverpool’s lineup for the upcoming Community Shield match this Sunday, even as rumors about his future persist. Reports from the Press Association indicate that discussions are underway between the Uruguayan forward’s representatives and Al Hilal, a Saudi Pro League club that has shown interest in the player for an extended period.

However, there have been no formal negotiations initiated with Liverpool yet. Núñez, who is 26 years old, has not made a definitive choice about a potential move to the Middle East, which means that any approach from Al Hilal remains unlikely at this stage.

Harvey Elliott’s Situation

In another related situation, midfielder Harvey Elliott has emerged as a target for RB Leipzig. The 22-year-old, who starred for England in the European Under-21 Championships earlier this summer, had a modest role last season with just 28 appearances—only three of which were starts in the Premier League and Champions League.

As the new season approaches, Elliott’s chances for playing time may dwindle further. His recent participation in the 4-1 victory against Athletic Club was marked by a heartfelt farewell as he left the pitch, signifying his appreciation to the fans.
