Liverpool have yet to agree a fee with Benfica over Darwin Nunez - despite suggestions the player has already told his family and friends he is moving to Anfield.
The Reds have made Nunez the chief target on their transfer shortlist as they look to continue overhauling a forward line that is likely to see Sadio Mane and Takumi Minamino follow Divock Origi in departing this summer.
Reports in Portugal on Friday claimed Nunez has informed those close to him that he intends to move to Anfield, despite interest from other clubs including Manchester United. There have also previously been claims of a five-year deal having been negotiated with the player and his representatives.
