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.

Darwin Nunez To Liverpool? The Latest Reports and News (Sports Illustrated)

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.

Darwin Nunez Transfer: Liverpool May Have To Break Club Record ... (Forbes)

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.

Diogo Jota speaks out as Liverpool close in on Darwin Nunez transfer (Metro)

Diogo Jota has branded Darwin Nunez a 'good player' amid reports claiming Liverpool are closing in on a deal for the Benfica forward.

Speaking while on international duty for Portugal, Jota said: ‘I don’t know, I’m focused on the national team. But the club have reportedly reacted with anger to Bayern’s second offer of £23.5m, with additional add-ons of around £6.5m. While Liverpool forward Jota wouldn’t be drawn on the possibility of the Merseyside club signing Nunez, he did admit the forward is a ‘good player’ after facing him with the Reds last season.

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.

Ramsay could travel south for a medical this week. They want around £26m down, and then a further £18m in achievable add-ons. The feeling is mutual too, with Nunez telling Benfica he only wants a move to Anfield. Nunez can play on the left as a direct replacement for Mane, but with Luis Diaz taking that position more recently, Mane was moved to the middle, and Nunez is comfortable with a central striking role. A compromise though, lies in a structured deal with bonus related add-ons, that with success for the player and the English club, could eventually get close to that figure. Liverpool are determined to get the maximum price for a player who has been placed in the top five in the world over the past three seasons.

The Evolution of Darwin Nuñez: Here's Why Everyone Wants to Sign ... (The Analyst)

It's been phenomenal to bear witness to the conveyor belt of goalscoring prowess that Uruguay have churned out over the past 35 years.

The fit is important, but Núñez has a lot of strings to his bow and isn’t necessarily a systems player. He notched 16 goals in 32 games the season prior to that for Almería in LaLiga 2, but even that is a far from spectacular return. Liverpool of course signed a player from the Portuguese league in January who hit the ground running in no time at all. For Uruguay U20s he netted just four times in 14 games while for the senior side he has just two in nine. It’s a mix of composure and technique that makes Núñez impressive in front of goal. Cavani and Suárez in particular possess that in abundance, and it’s no surprise that Núñez recently said that the former is his idol. These qualities mostly relate to his ability in and around the penalty area. He averaged more non-penalty goals per 90 than any other player in the top six ranked European leagues in 2021-22 (1.00), while his 0.69 non-penalty xG per 90 was only bettered by four players. He has the positional intelligence to create perfect receiving angles from a through pass, and the pace and strength to steamroll his way towards the goal when the pass is played. Some players gain that power and frame when they hit their early 20s and can sometimes struggle to maintain their technical ability as the extra weight becomes a burden. And now, with Cavani and Suárez’s careers nearing an end, a new model of Uruguayan striker looks set to arrive off the conveyor belt. Even three years later in the 2014 World Cup, all three featured in the group stage where they overcame Italy and England to make it to the last 16.

A whole host of clubs have been chasing the signature of Nunez, with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain also reportedly keen to land him. Klopp was full of praise for Nunez after seeing the Uruguayan torment his defence in Europe at the start of April. “He's a very good boy,” the German said. Nunez, who has been capped 10 times by Uruguay, then suggested he would consider moving on this summer after revealing he was committed to his current club only until the end of the last campaign. Van Dijk joined Liverpool at the start of 2017 for £75m. Liverpool are set to lose star forward Sadio Mane this summer, while the future of Mohamed Salah is also up in the air.

Liverpool and Man City have the same problem as Darwin Núñez ... (Liverpool.com)

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 to Liverpool: 'Advanced talks', £100m question and ... (Liverpool Echo)

Liverpool continue to be linked with a move for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez who is also attracting interest from Manchester United and Newcastle.

The 22-year-old Uruguayan has been a standout for Benfica in Portugal's Primeira Liga and is likely to be on the move this summer. “I hope this is not true and he comes to us instead,” the Spaniard wrote on his Instagram story in response to an article suggesting United are favourites for his signature. Unsurprisingly his exploits, which included six Champions league goals and two against Liverpool in the quarter-final, have led to a significant number of clubs showing an interest. He claims that the Catalan club rejected the signing because he was too young at the time: "I recommended Darwin to Barcelona when he was at Almeria," Suarez revealed in an interview with Gerard Romero on Twitch. "I have 15 years of international experience. Nunez has been reported to earn considerably less in Portugal, some 70 per cent less in fact. Now 30, Mane is edging towards a new challenge, even though the Reds would like to keep him at the club. Darwin Nunez continues to be linked with a move to Liverpool this summer as the transfer window nears. The front page of another Portuguese publication, Record, have the story on their front page and have also reported the same transfer fee. The Uruguay international has been tipped to be a possible replacement for Sadio Mane, who is attracting interest from Bayern Munich. But instead of paying now €80m, €90m or €100m, they would’ve paid €15m or €20m and have him there as a substitute." This offer is now being considered by the Portuguese giants. He scored 34 goals in 41 appearances, and helped his team reach the Champions League quarter-final.

Nowadays, he's not one of the top strikers because he doesn't play in the top five leagues. If Mane is to leave, Liverpool will only look to do business for a fee above the €30m that's been quoted and they would want a replacement sorted before allowing him to go. You can also catch up with the ins, outs and analysis on Sky Sports News. The other one was Luis Diaz who moved to Liverpool in January and that made Nunez the absolute best player. They focus on playing for the team and making the whole team play well. But he can easily play out wide to break spaces for other players in the central areas if teams need him. Oxlade Chamberlain is another player with just one year left on his contract. Nunez led the way for goals and conversion rate for players taking 20 or more shots in the Primeira Liga last season. The high frequency of long passes contribute to a below-average accuracy, but his successful, raking distribution in central areas would offer Klopp another dynamic against low-block opposition. "He's a 'modern football striker' - like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe - strikers who don't just focus on scoring goals. He fired 85 shots at goal and that also converts into a league-topping conversion rate of 30.6 per cent. And a decent player as well!"

Report: Darwin Núñez Set To Join Liverpool For €80m plus €20m in ... (Sports Illustrated)

After publicly signaling their intent to bid yesterday, it appears Liverpool is close to striking an agreement with Benfica for their main summer transfer ...

With 34 goals last season and two impressive cameos against Liverpool in the Champions League, it is hardly surprising that Klopp has identified the 22-year-old as his primary summer target. Three major Portuguese outlets, O Jogo, A Bola, and Record Portugal, have reported that this agreement is set to be finalized, with Record Portugal going so far as to say, "It's done". It will reportedly be the second most expensive transfer in Portuguese football history, with an initial fee of €80m plus €20m in add-ons being reported. With Sadio Mané's desire to join Bayern Munich, Liverpool has moved quickly to identify Benfica's Darwin Núñez as their primary target to replace the Senegalese. After Paul Joyce and various other outlets reported on Liverpool's interest in the striker over the past few days, it appears that an agreement is close to being reached between the two clubs.
