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.

Nunez scored 34 times in all competitions for Benfica last season and is rated at €100m (£85.5m); Manchester United are also interested in the 22-year-old ...

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. Oxlade Chamberlain is another player with just one year left on his contract. Liverpool will look to strengthen their forward line this season.

Premier League clubs are wary of repeating the mistake Arsenal made with Nicolas Pepe as they ponder a move for Benfica star Darwin Nunez.

But with the club seemingly committed to using a large chunk of that to sign Frenkie de Jong, with reports in Spain suggesting a £70m fee has been agreed, United can ill-afford another expensive mistake. The situation has been compared somewhat to that of Arsenal forward Pepe, who joined the Gunners in a deal worth £72million from Lille in 2019. The Ivorian has struggled to live up to that price tag and has failed to hold down a starting role in Mikel Arteta’s side, starting just five top flight games last season.

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.

Uruguay striker could cost Liverpool in region of £85m but prolific 22-year-old has long caught the eye of Premier League clubs.

“I recommended Darwin to Barcelona,” Suarez revealed in an interview with journalist Gerard Romero. “I have 15 years of international experience, so I know a thing or two about forwards. To watch his goals this season is to see a player capable of finding the net in all sorts of ways: right foot, left foot, tap-ins, long-rangers, booming headers, penalties. Nunez was still turning out for Almeria, in the Spanish second tier, when Suarez told Barcelona to move quickly. All of the evidence suggests he is far too good to be plugging away in mid-table or scrapping for the Europa League. Nunez finished the campaign with 34 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions, and scored at least six more goals than any other player in the Portuguese top flight. In short, it was a case of “thanks, but no thanks”.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was impressed by the striker, saying in April: "A good looking boy! And a decent player as well. "Really good, really good. I knew ...

I always say in these situations if he is healthy, it's a big career ahead of him." Nunez is said to be "excited" to play under Klopp, with Liverpool moving ahead of Atletico Madrid and Manchester United in the pursuit of the in-demand striker. "He was physically strong, quick, was calm around his finish.

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 NUNEZ is set to be the face of one of the summer's biggest transfer sagas with Liverpool now leading the race to land the in-demand striker.W.

The club were willing to part with Nunez for around £65m in January, but that figure now appears to have rocketed up to closer to £85m. In their eyes, he needs space to run, a physical style of play and a guarantee of minutes, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham all preferable locations, while Man Utd are viewed as more of a risk. But despite adapting well to the Portuguese league in his first season, the tears soon returned as his knee troubles resurfaced in May 2021. Despite this, his biggest attribute was always one of physicality and power, and after scoring 16 goals in his first season with Spanish second division outfit Almeria, Benfica took a punt on Nunez in September 2020 signing a five-year deal for a club-record £20m. Now strongly tipped for a move to Jurgen Klopp's Reds in a club-record £85m deal, it is important to understand the player and the person behind the incredible goal-scoring stats.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has identified Benfica striker Darwin Nunez as his top target for the upcoming transfer window - with Sadio Mane and Takumi ...

It is believed that Leeds United boss Jesse Marsh is keen on a reunion with Minamino, having worked together at Salzburg, while the Saints are also interested in bringing him back to St Mary’s permanently. Klopp got a first-hand glimpse of Nunez’s unerring ability in front of goal, scoring two of his 36 goals against Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-final. Klopp had also hinted that would look for a solution to his situation, after sanctioning a loan in the second half of the 2020/21 campaign. And his prospects of additional playing time look set to be hampered even further after it emerged that Klopp was prioritising a move for Benfica forward Nunez this summer. “It is unlikely with the size of the squad that we now stay exactly like this together. Speaking after his strike on the south coast, Jurgen Klopp admitted it was criminal how little he was able to play, with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz preferred.

Premier League clubs are reportedly concerned that Darwin Nunez could end up following the same career path as Arsenal flop Nicolas Pepe with Benfica ...

"Let’s say he did think about going to United. I mean, there are no guarantees that, under Erik ten Hag, the Ajax school will be transferable. Manchester United are also thought to be interested in Nunez, although it's believed he's hesitant to join them due to their lack of Champions League football. You’re starting to get into Virgil van Dijk price-tag territory, near-club-record money." The Reds are reportedly interested in signing the Benfica striker, 22, after a stellar term. Benfica were dumped out of Europe by Liverpool, but Nunez scored in both legs. "Liverpool have to make the odd marquee signing as well to fire shots across the bows of the other big clubs in the Premier League, and signing Nunez for £68m would be one of those.

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.

Nunez is expected to move to the Premier League this summer and Liverpool are now well placed to beat Manchester United to his signature.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich have tabled two offers for Mane – both rejected – but Liverpool might talk if they hit the Reds’ £40million valuation. The player wants a move to England and while he’s “intrigued” by Erik ten Hag’s project at Old Trafford, Liverpool’s place in the Champions League might swing it for them. Nunez, at 22, ticks a lot of boxes.

Liverpool are said to be willing to take a loss on the £35m they paid for Oxlade-Chamberlain back in 2017 and want just £10m this summer. The Reds are demanding £42.5m for Mane and it's unlikely they will sell unless Bayern come close to that figure. Whether Benfica can be budged on that huge fee remains to be seen, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility for Liverpool. Liverpool appear reluctant to meet Benfica's £85million asking price for Darwin Nunez, but three players heading for the exit door at Anfield can help fund nearly all of that fee. I knew him before, of course, but he played pretty much in front of me with these tough battles with Ibou Konate. Physically strong, quick, was calm around his finish when he finished the goal off. Obviously how you say in these situations, if he stays healthy, it’s a big career ahead of him."

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. Nunez bagged an incredible 34 goals in 41 appearances last season, with two of those strikes coming against the Merseyside outfit in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Liverpool reportedly reach an agreement with Benfica for the transfer of Darwin Nunez, which could cost the Reds up to a club record €100m (£85.6m).

Nunez cost Benfica £21.6m to sign from Almeria in the summer of 2020, and the striker has gone on to register 47 goals and 16 assists in 84 games for the Portuguese giants in all competitions. Nunez is poised to sign a five-year deal at Anfield until the summer of 2027, and he would become the most expensive signing in Liverpool's history should the Reds end up paying the full sum. Now, Portuguese outlet Record - via Anfield Watch - states that Liverpool have now reached a total agreement with Benfica for the transfer of Nunez and could end up forking out as much as €100m (£86m).

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.

BARCELONA missed out on a bargain Darwin Nunez transfer in 2020, their former striker Luis Suarez has revealed.The Uruguayan, 35, was impressed by his.

He said: "I don’t know, I’m focused on the national team. "I had the opportunity to play against him and he’s a good player, but I can’t say anything else at the moment." Suarez approves of the move, having tried to get Nunez to Barca.

"They won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup but didn't score in either of those finals against Chelsea, instead relying on penalty shootouts to prevail. "When Liverpool drew 1-1 with Tottenham last month, they crossed the ball 46 times — the most of any side in a single match during the 2021-22 campaign — and 46 times it wasn't headed beyond Hugo Lloris. As a result, Liverpool dropped two points. "Nobody produced more crosses than Trent Alexander-Arnold in the Premier League last season, and Andy Robertson wasn't far behind his pal.

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!"
