Nunez became Liverpool 's record marking when he joined the club from Benfica on June 14. The Reds consented to pay an underlying charge of £64million for the Uruguayan striker, however it will rapidly ascend to £75m in light of superficial factors, while Benfica could likewise get a further £10m in view of prize achievement, meaning he will surpass Virgil van Dijk as Liverpool's most costly marking.
That sticker price accompanies some strain, particularly following Sadio Mane's £35m flight to Bayern Munich, yet Nunez has the standing to adapt to it. The 23-year-old got 48 objectives across 85 appearances in all contests for Benfica and looks a solid match for Jurgen Klopp's side.
Liverpool fly out to Bangkok on Saturday for the main leg of their pre-season visit and will take on Manchester United in a well disposed on Tuesday. That match could allow Nunez an opportunity to charm himself to Liverpool fans and previous Reds winger Downing accepts initial feelings will be key for the fresh debut.
"I figure he will be a fans' #1, simply the manner in which he plays, 100% the fans will cherish that and it will be great on the off chance that he gets two or three objectives right off the bat, particularly at Anfield to get his certainty up," Downing told the Liverpool Echo .
"That occurred with Salah and Mane, they got off to great beginnings and their vocations took off and you want to believe that he gets along nicely. He seems to be a phenomenal player from what I have seen."
He will presently expect to continue in the strides of his comrade, Luis Suarez, who contributed 82 objectives and 46 aids 133 games for the club. "He has that South America style about him," Downing added. "He's a piece like a Suarez sort of player and with the crosses rolling in from the two sides he will flourish with that and the assistance he will get.
"I simply see him fitting in all around well and Jurgen Klopp seldom purchases players that don't squeeze into the manner in which he needs to play. I simply figure he will be an extraordinary marking and he is night and day different to Mane. However, you want various approaches to playing and various aspects."
Nunez plainly concurs. "There are a few extraordinary players here and I believe it will suit my style of play here," he said upon his appearance. "As I say, I've observed a considerable amount and it's an exceptionally large club and I want to believe that I can give all that I have to help the group."
