Liverpool Agrees To Buy Darwin Nunez For 75million Euros

Liverpool have agreed to purchase Darwin Nunez for 75 million euros (£64 million), the Portuguese club made this known on Monday. All that is left is for Nunez to pass his medical before officially becoming a Red.

The transfer could eventually rise to 100 million euros, Benfica disclosed this in a statement, eclipsing Liverpool’s club-record £75 million paid to Southampton for Dutch centre-back Virgil Van Dijk in 2018.

Nunez has bagged a total of 26 goals in 28 league appearances last season in Portugal. The 22-year-old, who was left out of Uruguay’s squad for Saturday’s 5-0 friendly victory over Panama, was expected to begin a medical on Monday which could take two days to complete.

Personal terms are not anticipated to be a problem, with the player having expressed his desire to play for Reds manager Jurgen Klopp despite interest from Manchester United

Nunez is ready to sign a six-year contract with the Premier League and Champions League runners-up Liverpool, who have been in talks with Benfica for several weeks.
