'Just not enough money,' Liverpool expressed concern about Darwin Nunez transfer fee
In order to continue reshaping their attack, Liverpool has targeted Benfica striker Darwin Nunez.
Luis Suarez and Virgil van Dijk have reached an agreement regarding Liverpool's interest in Darwin Nunez.
The transfer of Darwin Nunez to Liverpool has reached a 'advanced' stage, with the club reportedly agreeing a fee with Benfica of £68 million plus £25 million in add-ons.
The deal has been widely reported in the Portuguese media, with personal terms on a potential five-year contract to be agreed upon this weekend. The total value of the deal would be greater than the £75 million paid for Virgil van Dijk in 2018, This could be the Reds' record transfer.
The transfer could be funded by a move for Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich, as the Senegal international is rumored to want to leave Anfield this summer. However, Liverpool are said to have rejected a bid from the German champions because the £30 million offered was deemed a "joke."
The record contract will excite Reds fans, but one former player has questioned the fee, while also saying that the Uruguay international would be 'perfect for Liverpool.' Steve Nicol, who made over 300 appearances for the club, made the remarks while speaking to ESPN FC.
"Not (worth) €100 million, every single thing he does is perfect for Liverpool, the way he plays," the way he runs in behind, he’s a workhorse.
Darwin Nunez is coming off his best season as a professional footballer in terms of goals scored. In 24 appearances in the Portuguese top flight, the Benfica striker scored 22 non-penalty goals.
He scored a non-penalty goal every 90 minutes, so it's no surprise that clubs from all over Europe are interested in signing him. Nunez will be able to visit a variety of clubs this summer, including Manchester United, Barcelona, Arsenal, and now Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp is looking for a replacement for Sadio Mane, who appears to be on his way to Bayern Munich in the coming months. Nunez is a player who Reds manager Jurgen Klopp is interested in, despite the fact that the numbers attached to his historic season are interesting and can be interpreted in different ways.
