Darwin Nunez

Jurgen Klopp is a big admirer of the Uruguayan striker as the club target a replacement for Sadio Mane, who is expected to join Bayern Munich. However, ...

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.

Man Utd target Darwin Nunez is reportedly 'intrigued' by a move to Old Trafford, while Fabrizio Romano claims agent 'relations' could help the Red Devils.

Nunez clearly has the movement and eye for goal which would make him a success in a top-five league. Transfer guru Romano has also spoken about the star’s future. “He wants Premier League football, it’s important to say. “Also Man United are discussing the price, they have good relations with his agent who is close to Jorge Mendes. So Darwin Nunez is a possibility for Liverpool and Man United.” According to the i, Nunez is ‘intrigued’ by the potential to work under Ten Hag in Manchester. Manchester United striker target Darwin Nunez is reportedly ‘intrigued’ by a move to Old Trafford, while Fabrizio Romano claims agent ‘relations’ could help the Red Devils complete the move.

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.

The 22-year-old Uruguayan is high on the list of the club's transfer targets this summer.

“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.

The Reds have suggested they will walk away if the bidding gets too high, but Klopp has made Nunez his number one target, and now the club has a huge decision to make. But Benfica are adamant they will not lower the price, and after enquiries from Liverpool, United and Atletico Madrid, they have named their price for a player who scored 36 goals this season. 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.

Darwin Núñez wants Liverpool, and Liverpool want him. But Benfica stand in the way, and their big demands pose the first major test of a big FSG alteration.

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.
