Liverpool may have lost the chance to win the Premier League and the Champions League by a fine margin. Still, they have made intentions clear for this season after expressing their interest in signing SL Benfica’s Darwin Nunez who has been one of the best young players. The Uruguayan was the best attacker in the Portuguese Primeira Liga, ending up as the top scorer with 26 goals.
Liverpool have already agreed on personal terms with the player and are now negotiating with Nunez’s club. According to reports, Liverpool have prepared an agreement worth €100 million. This included an €80 million payment plus add-ons,
The Reds already have made a brilliant signing from the Primeira Liga in Luis Diaz. The Colombian, who was among the best young attackers in Europe with Nunez, has impressed massively since moving to Merseyside in January.

While Manchester United are also said to be in touch with the player, it seems likely that the 22-year-old will join Jurgen Klopp’s men.
Liverpool are also looking to reinforce the attacking department after it became clear that Sadio Mane was leaving the club. And the club believes he is the perfect replacement for the departing Senegalese.
What does he bring to Liverpool?
Darwin Nunez was the top scorer in the league, which means he will add a new threat to the already brilliant Liverpool attack. While Liverpool scored 94 goals in the league, second only to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, they struggled to find the back of the net on critical occasions.
Klopp’s men lost two matches in the league, the best record but drew eight games, two more than City, ultimately deciding who won the trophy. Even in the Champions League final, Liverpool struggled due to the same thing. With Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota not in form, the one-time quadruple chasers failed to find an elite attacker who could come from the bench and score.
And in Nunez, they will have a player who is in form, is developing and has the best years ahead of him.
