Benfica caretaker manager Nelson Verissimo has said that he hopes the club will get a transfer fee similar to Joao Felix’s when the club moves striker Darwin Nunez on. The 22-year-old has been linked with a number of clubs for this summer, including Arsenal and Manchester United.
Nunez has been one of the standout performers this season, scoring 24 goals in 24 league appearances for Benfica this season. It hasn’t only been in Portugal that he has performed this season though, scoring five goals in the Champions League, his most recent being an impressive strike against Liverpool.
This has led to the transfer interest mentioned, with the Gunners in search of a striker this summer. With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leaving in January for Barcelona, the duo of Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah could soon follow as their contracts expire at the end of the season.
