Liverpool Agrees Personal Terms With Darwin Nunez Ahead Of £85m Transfer
Darwin Nunez is a bit closer to completing his £85million move to Liverpool after the premier league club agreed to his personal terms.
The Reds are poised to smash their transfer record to sign the 22-year-old Uruguay and Benfica striker with the deal comprised of a £68m fee up front and at least £17m in add-ons.
Nunez will fill the void left by Sadio mane’s impending exit to Bayern Munich as Jurgen Klopp evolves his team’s forward line in readiness for a fresh assault on silverware.
Nunez, who can play on the left as well as through the middle, has scored a total of six goals in the Champions League last season, two of which came in the quarter-finals against Liverpool and he made a significant impression on Klopp.
Overall, Nunez has 34 goals in all competition for Benfica last season.
Liverpool’s manager made it known in April that the 22-year-old is: ‘A good looking boy, huh? And a decent player as well! Really good, really good. I knew before, of course, but he played pretty much in front of me with his tough battles with Ibrahima Konate”.
