DBasia.news – Liverpool have reportedly signed Benfica striker Darwin Nunez. A long-term contract also binds him until June 2028.

Darwin Nunez performed brilliantly last season. From 41 appearances, Nunez gained 34 goals plus four assists. Six of those goals came in the Champions League.

At only 22 years old, Darwin Nunez is certainly one of the gems that has received a lot of attention. Nunez is believed to have a bright future.

Liverpool, who were looking for a new striker after Sadio Mane wanted to leave, glanced at Darwin Nunez. Moreover, Jurgen Klopp is also an admirer of the former Penarol player.

Liverpool are not alone as Manchester United are also targeting Darwin Nunez. The Red Devils tried to contact the striker’s agent to see if he could join.

However, the Reds are apparently one step ahead. Liverpool accelerated the negotiation process by submitting an offer of €80 million. In addition, there is still a €20 million bonus that Benfica can obtain.

Finally, according to Fabrizio Romano’s report, Liverpool won. The Reds have also secured an agreement from the striker.

Interestingly, Liverpool immediately tied Nunez to a long-term contract. The striker will be with Liverpool until 2028. That means, Nunez’s contract is six years, not five years as has been rumored.

Meanwhile, Almeria as a former club of Nunez also splashed profit as there is a percentage of sales that go into their pockets.
