Liverpool are ready to do everything possible to bring Benfica talent Darwin Nunez to Anfield. The Uruguayan striker is one of the most promising stars of the European scene, and that certainly means that the competition for his card is quite fierce. But "The Reds" do not intend to surrender, and according to reports are ready to break the club's personal record for the most expensive transfer.
Liverpool's new sporting director, Julian Ward, is in talks with Benfica and it is said that Nunez is seriously considering the transfer to Anfield. The attack is the most priority ward for the English in this market, given the complicated situation of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, who are close to leaving the club.
Nunez meanwhile scored 6 goals in the Champions League last season, 2 even against Liverpool in the quarterfinals. This certainly caught the attention of Jurgen Klopp, who a few weeks ago spoke about the 22-year-old:
“A charming guy! But also a pretty good player… He was physically strong, fast, and calm in front of goal. "I always say in these situations that if he is physically healthy, he has a great career ahead of him."
For a long time it was actually Atletico Madrid that seemed the closest destination to Nunez, but the interest from the Premier League is increasing day by day. Here we can mention Manchester United. But the "Red Devils" have a big disadvantage and it is precisely the fact that they will not play in the Champions League next season. Nunez is certainly looking for this opportunity, at this point in his career. The striker has scored a full 34 goals in 41 appearances with Benfica, and is already a regular starter with the Uruguayan national team.
