I always say in these situations if he is healthy, it’s a big career ahead of him.” The 22-year-old impressed Klopp and his staff when he scored against Liverpool in both legs of their Champions League quarter-final. Nunez is understood to be high up the list of striking targets for Manchester United. I knew before, of course, but he played pretty much in front of me with his tough battles with Ibrahima Konate. A year ago, Klopp and Liverpool were on their knees. Liverpool’s current transfer record is the £75 million they paid Southampton for Virgil van Dijk in January 2018.

Liverpool have been told it will take a club-record fee of about £85 million to prise the Uruguay striker Darwin Núñez from Benfica.
Liverpool are believed to be closing in on Benfica forward Darwin Nunez for a fee of £85m - one that would break their transfer record.
One thing that could be really fun to watch is watching Nunez inter-change positions with Martinelli on the left. Uruguay and Barca great Luis Suarez recommended Nunez but they didn’t have the financials to complete the deal. Barton believes that the goal Nunez scored against Barcelona in the Champions League group stage is the perfect example of what the Uruguayan’s game is all about. Not only is he quick at top speed but he is also surprisingly quick from the go, and that can often leave opposing defenders in his wake as they simply don’t expect it. I think there’s a feeling that if they can get a lot of money for him they should go for it. He's a bit rushed when he gets close to goal,” adds Kundert. He then pulls it back, cuts inside and fires home at the near post. Look, before we get carried away, this is not Erling Haaland 2.0. Nunez still has work to do. “Decent in the air, and an ice-cool penalty taker. It’s not just that he’s big either, Nunez is quick - deceptively quick. The first thing you’re going to notice when you put on some tape of Nunez is the sheer size of the lad. He’s listed at around 6'2" but he is one of those players who just 'feels' bigger than he officially is.
The past few days have been a whirlwind of activity for Liverpool F.C in the transfer market.
As a way, the sticking point will come down to whether or not Liverpool can agree a fee with Benfica. I always say in these situations if he is healthy, it’s a big career ahead of him.’ Jurgen Klopp has already expressed that he is a huge admirer of Nunez, saying last season ‘He (Nunez) was physically strong, quick, was calm around his finish. With that in mind, this recent development would certainly have been music to the Liverpool faithful's ears. It is also worth mentioning Liverpool have said they are still looking at other targets too. Another interesting development, considering The Reds' current transfer record fee sits at £75m and with Virgil van Dijk.

“There is a different type of striker that we face now, that are doing very, very well, in the name of [Erling] Haaland, and also Darwin [Nunez], who is a bit similar. I always say in these situations if he is healthy he has a big career ahead of him.” It would be another eye-catching bit of business for a club who have risen to become one of the best in Europe once again. Manchester United have also been linked with the striker, but it is thought his preferred Premier League move would be to Liverpool, which would mean he remains at the top level of the game and playing in the Champions League—something United can’t currently offer. [Kylian] Mbappe is different quick. But usually by the time interest in a player becomes concrete, and especially by the time it becomes widely known, they have already identified the player as one who will want to join them, and fit with what they are trying to build.
The Reds have been adamant they will not overpay for the Benfica striker, and have other irons in the fire as they look to a future without Sadio Mane.

Darwin Nunez Transfer Latest: Journalist Hints Benfica Have Agreed Deal With Liverpool For Transfer Of Uruguyan
The 22-year-old Uruguayan appears to be the club's top forward target as the Reds look to reload their attack.
Núñez is said to favour a move to Liverpool. There are now even a smattering of reports out of Portugal that while an official bid has not been lodged, a proposal has been made that would see the Reds pay around €80M as a base fee plus a further €20M in add-ons. However, the transfer story has moved quickly today and it appears that Liverpool are in fact willing to pay that kind of a price for Núñez in a transfer that would serve as a major statement of intent and see Núñez eclipse Virgil van Dijk as the club’s record signing.

And he also managed to negotiate the kind of instalment plans that made big-money deals manageable. Can he live up to his predecessor’s reputation as one of the game’s top negotiators? Now, with the summer window due to open on Friday, Ward may once again tap into his ‘strong network of contacts’ in Portugal, stemming from his work with the national team as head of analysis and technical scouting. In terms of outright performance levels, Díaz was arguably Liverpool’s best attacker in the final few months of the campaign. Ward also deserves credit for agreeing a favourable package within a short period of time. Julian Ward wasn’t supposed to take over as Liverpool’s sporting director until the summer, when Michael Edwards officially departed.

Darwin Núñez's style of play may not automatically align with how Liverpool attack. Manchester City will be grappling with a similar Erling Haaland issue.
A stat which caught the eye of ESPN writer Ryan O’Hanlon suggests the Benfica forward may have work to do if he becomes a Liverpool player. But Núñez has not been as involved in build-up play as Liverpool’s current forwards have, and he is more of an out-and-out striker than anyone they’ve used regularly for quite some time. Obviously Pep Guardiola (and his predecessors) had tremendous success with Sergio Agüero, but it has now been three seasons since the Argentine was a regular player, last featuring for even half of the available minutes in 2018/19. Nonetheless, it’s natural for Kopites to cast glances at Manchester City and Erling Haaland and wonder if their title rivals have placed the safer of the two bets with their transfer business this summer. A radar chart overlaying the two players’ numbers immediately has one thinking of the Spider-Man meme. After all, the Norwegian hitman had three successful campaigns with Borussia Dortmund, scoring 86 times in 89 games following his move from RB Salzburg. He’s been delivering goals for longer than Núñez and in a higher-quality league.
Darwin Nunez for £85m seems an awful lot of money, but what else can Liverpool do? They certainly can't stand still.
When Liverpool needed a new centre-back, they identified the one they wanted and spent the big money needed to get him. When Liverpool needed a new goalkeeper, they identified the one they wanted and spent the big money needed to get him. Mane appears set on leaving for a new challenge in Munich, and Liverpool simply cannot afford to consider entering next season weaker than they ended the last. Jurgen Klopp was quick to praise the Uruguayan afterwards and it was pretty clear then the cogs were already whirring. something (No Champions Leagues? You Are Frauds! Only one Premier League! It Is You Who Are The Frauds!) that Liverpool do deserve a fair amount of credit for competing with City at all. Now for all the pauper talk you get from Liverpool supporters, this is where the sympathy does start to run out.
It is understood the Uruguay international wants to join the Reds and the Benfica forward is their number one transfer target as Jurgen Klopp looks to bolster ...
