Nunez is still expected to play for Liverpool in the Community Shield match against Crystal Palace on Sunday. Despite the uncertainty, he's been involved in Liverpool's preseason training and has scored several goals. His performances are impressive, and it's likely he'll be in the squad for the Community Shield match.
It's worth noting that Nunez hasn't been a regular starter for Liverpool. He played in just eight Premier League games last season and was only in the starting lineup once. With the signing of new players, like Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak, it's clear that his time at the club might be coming to an end.
Liverpool and Al-Hilal are in talks about Nunez's potential transfer. The negotiations are moving forward, and it seems like both parties are close to reaching an agreement. However, the details still need to be finalized, and the transfer fee is a significant part of the discussion.
The Uruguayan international was signed by Liverpool for £85 million three years ago. Al-Hilal might not want to pay a higher price for Nunez, considering his inconsistent goal-scoring record in the Premier League.
For now, Liverpool is focusing on the Community Shield match against Crystal Palace. Nunez's future with the team will be decided after that.
