Liverpool told they must pay record £85m to land Benfica's Darwin ... (The Guardian)

Liverpool have been told it will take a club record £85m to land Darwin Núñez from Benfica as Jürgen Klopp considers rebuilding his attack.

The club have signed Fulham’s 19-year-old midfielder Fabio Carvalho from Fulham and hope to finalise a deal for Aberdeen’s right-back Calvin Ramsay this week. Manchester United have also been linked with Núñez as they rebuild under Erik ten Hag but cannot offer Champions League football. Núñez, who was the top scorer in Portugal last season with 26 league goals and scored 34 in total, is high on Liverpool’s wishlist although Benfica want about £85m for the 22-year-old.

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 scouting report - the reasons why Liverpool are ... (Eurosport.com)

With the help of Tom Kundert from Portugoal and Aaron Barton of Proxima Jornada, Eurosport's Pete Sharland analyses the strengths and weaknesses of Nunez's game ...

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.

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.

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.

The 22-year-old Uruguayan appears to be the club's top forward target as the Reds look to reload their attack.

Núñez is said to favour a move to Liverpool. There are now even a smattering of reports out of Portugal that while an official bid has not been lodged, a proposal has been made that would see the Reds pay around €80M as a base fee plus a further €20M in add-ons. However, the transfer story has moved quickly today and it appears that Liverpool are in fact willing to pay that kind of a price for Núñez in a transfer that would serve as a major statement of intent and see Núñez eclipse Virgil van Dijk as the club’s record signing.

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.

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.

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!"

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.

Liverpool's Darwin Nunez Evolution: 6ft 2in striker can TRANSFORM ... (Daily Mail)

As good as this Liverpool side was - and is - during the past season it felt a puzzle piece short, an orthodox No 9 that really would give manager Jurgen ...

That should prove no issue for Liverpool giving the attacking attributes of both Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson. 'Klopp is still the best manager I worked with, although I didn't play a lot,' Christian Benteke told Belgian outlet HLN after he had left. Add in too that Trent Alexander-Arnold produced more crosses from right back than any player in the rest of the league. In that competition he took 16 shots and scored six goals. Now feels a moment that even Klopp knows is time to target something new, rather than more of the same. Not one of the 46 beat Tottenham's Hugo Lloris. That's a problem. Orthodox. Traditional. The type of striker Klopp has shied away from since moving on Christian Benteke in 2018. Service isn't the issue. The first thing to note is that at 6ft 2in Nunez is excellent in the air, a real threat, something Klopp's front line has traded off in favour of speed and dribble penetration. Nunez is a devastating finisher and looks to cut in from the left to curl into the far corner Evolution - and expect that word to come up a lot when more and more prose is written around Darwin Nunez - is a fact of life, though. And that's what Darwin Nunez represents.
