Liverpool agree fee for Darwin Nunez with striker set for medical on Monday.
Liverpool have agreed a fee for Benfica’s Darwin Nunez understood to be worth €75 million (£64.1 million), with a further €25 million (£21.4 million) in potential add-ons.
Nunez, 22, is set to sign a six-year deal with Liverpool and will undergo a medical on Monday.
Liverpool sporting director Julian Ward has spent the weekend in Lisbon negotiating with Benfica president Rui Costa.
Nunez, meanwhile, has been on international duty with Uruguay but was left out of their squad for a friendly against Panama on Saturday and flew to Madrid where he has been waiting for the finer details of the deal to be ironed out.
The Athletic reported on Thursday that Liverpool had agreed personal terms with Nunez over a potential move to Anfield, but at that stage nothing had been signed.
It’s understood that the structure of the fee had been the main detail in need of resolution.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is a big admirer of Nunez as the club target a replacement for Sadio Mane, who is expected to join Bayern Munich.

If Firmino can stay healthy, will remain a really valuable piece still. Of course still need midfield cover. Thiago and Keita are still bugged by injuries and Henderson is getting older. Jury still out on the young ones. Are they ready for prime time? We shall see.

Uhmm... from Liverpool's account.

Their time will come. For now, the club needs to spend 100 million for per player. You need money to win carabao cupCristao II wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 5:53 pm What happened to the vaunted youth players? Aside from Trent, who else is home grown?

There is a feeling and murmur out there that Sadio Mané was not given the respect he deserves at Liverpool, and that is what triggered his desire to explore new challenges elsewhere.kbt wrote: ↑Fri Jun 17, 2022 6:53 pm Liverpool have agreed to sell Sadio Mane to Bayern Munich for a deal worth up to £35m.

Thanks for all the memories and great goals, Sadio. Wishing you all the best (except if we play Bayern in the Champions League)

Sadio was still on around 100k and for one of the senior and most important players at Liverpool he must have felt shortchanged, and now that he just wanted to negotiate for a new higher paying contract he has been let go.

Jurgen Klopp’s emotional tribute to Sadio Mane – “He made it all possible”
June 22, 2022
Jack Lusby
Jurgen Klopp admits “our loss is Bayern’s gain” after Sadio Mane completed his £35.1 million exit, lauding him as “one of Liverpool’s greatest ever players.”
“It’s a big moment. There is no point in anyone trying to pretend otherwise,” Klopp begins.
“One of Liverpool’s greatest ever players is leaving and we must acknowledge how significant this is.”
Mane has signed a three-year contract with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, leaving Anfield after six successful years.
Arriving from Southampton in 2016, there were doubts among some sections of the support that the £30 million fee would be value for money, but Mane defied expectations to become one of the best players in the world.
He was the catalyst for Liverpool’s revival under Klopp, and it is no surprise, then, the emotion with which the manager paid tribute to his long-serving No. 10.
“He leaves with our gratitude and our love,” he told the club’s official website.
“He leaves with his status among the greats guaranteed. And, yes, he leaves in a moment where he is one of the best players in world football.
“But we must not dwell on what we now lose, instead celebrate what we were privileged to have.
“The goals he scored, the trophies he won; a legend, for sure, but also a modern-day Liverpool icon.”
Klopp is right to not focus on the impact of Mane’s exit – particularly as, in Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, the club have already brought in elite replacements – but his words on the Senegalese’s impact are profound.
“Since he first stepped through the door, he made us better,” he added.
“If someone had told us in that moment what he would go on to contribute and achieve for this club, I’m not sure it would have been possible to comprehend in that moment. Not the scale of it at least.
“Sadio made it all possible.”
There was frustration during talks between Liverpool and Bayern, with the German club reportedly submitting two derisory offers before the £35.1 million package was agreed, but Klopp holds no ill will towards Mane.
“I respect completely his decision and I’m sure our supporters do also,” he explained.
“If you love LFC, you have to love Sadio – non-negotiable. It is possible to do this while accepting our loss is Bayern’s gain.
“We wish him nothing but success in every match he plays in, unless, of course, it’s against us. His star will continue to rise, I have no doubts.”
Klopp concluded: “World-class player! True club legend! Ideal role model! The perfect team-mate! Compassionate, caring person…[we] will miss you!”

To conceive a fellow continental star would step into the footprints of such leviathans as Didier Drogba with equal measure, was reserved for fantasy. Mane not only walked with the elephants, but grew tusks and trunk. An African Great. Well done.
