The exchange is dependent upon the 22-year-old Uruguay global concurring individual terms with Liverpool and finishing a clinical, as most would consider to be normal to occur on Monday.

Nunez, who was likewise important to Manchester United, needs to move to Liverpool and is prepared to sign a five-year contract.

Liverpool’s overseer of football, Julian Ward, was in Portugal to get the exchange over the line as he arranged the design of the arrangement.

Nunez scored multiple times for Benfica last season in all rivalries, remembering objectives for the two legs of the club’s Champions League quarter-last loss to Liverpool in April.

Liverpool were not ready to enter an offering battle for their main exchange focus, in spite of questions over the fates of Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, and moved rapidly to beat their opponents to the marking.

Mane is needed by German bosses Bayern Munich after the Senegal forward wouldn’t focus on Liverpool past next season.

Salah likewise has one year left on his Liverpool contract however reported before last month’s Champions League last loss to Real Madrid that he will remain on Merseyside for somewhere around another season.

Portuguese football master Pedro Sepulveda talking on Sky Sports News:

“Darwin Nunez was perhaps the best player this season in the Portuguese association by a wide margin.

The other one was Luis Diaz who moved to Liverpool in January and that made Nunez the very best player.

“Benfica completed the season in third spot and neglected to get an immediate spot in the Champions League yet in 41 games, Nunez scored 34 objectives and enrolled four helps – so you’re discussing perhaps the best striker.

“The greatest deformity – or the less valid statement – about Nunez is his mental game. In the 2020/21 season, he was not scoring numerous objectives. He played 44 matches and just scored 14. He was scrutinized by the fans a tad and the primary thing he did was begin suspending his virtual entertainment, obstructing individuals and not perusing the remarks. This demonstrates he doesn’t manage pundits when things start not working out in a good way. What’s more, in England, the sticker price is the primary thing individuals will discuss when he doesn’t begin scoring objectives.

“At the point when you discuss a player like Darwin Nunez, you ponder a common number nine that plays inside the punishment region. However, he can without much of a stretch play out wide to break spaces for different players in the focal regions on the off chance that groups need him. It’s a generally excellent arrangement for Liverpool, who previously involved the Portuguese association with Luis Diaz in a monstrous exchange for Liverpool which the winger totally merited.

“In Jurgen Klopp’s hands, Darwin can be of the top strikers on the planet. These days, he’s not one of the top strikers since he doesn’t play in the main five associations. We need to perceive how he creates in the Premier League, which is perhaps the best association on the planet.”

At the point when Nunez joined Benfica from Almeria for €24m, he turned into the most costly player to at any point leave La Liga 2 and furthermore the most costly marking in Benfica’s set of experiences.

The Spaniards are getting 20% of any exchange benefit above £20m meaning they will be expected a cut of £8.8m from the underlying £64m charge Liverpool are paying.

“Manchester United’s proposition was greater than Liverpool’s, however the venture under Jurgen Klopp – playing Champions League football – was extremely conclusive. We’re discussing a major exchange that is a record for Liverpool however we’re discussing somebody who has a ton of potential.”

“He might one day at some point be the best striker on the planet. He scores objectives however he has forever been somebody who improves the group. On the off chance that you see Darwin Nunez’s games with Benfica, he plays inside the area yet when he has been sent on the wings, he is thoroughly adequate at playing there as well.”

“Benfica are content with the charge as one could reach €100m. €75m is fixed with €25m in view of additional items.”

“The first €5m is not difficult to accomplish in light of the quantity of games, €10m relies upon the titles the player succeeds at Liverpool and the quantity of objectives he will score. The last €10m is more troublesome, and depends on Liverpool winning the Champions League and the Premier League in a similar season.”
