Benfica's Darwin Nunez claims he takes Jurgen Klopp's praise as a "compliment" but remains focused on matters with Benfica.
The Uruguayan is enjoying a stellar year and, as a result, is attracting interest from around Europe. His stock will have risen further after he scored at Anfield in his side's 3-3 draw. It wasn't enough to take them through however as they were beaten by the Reds 6-4 on aggregate.
Nunez has now scored 32 times in all competitions and Liverpool are among those linked with the 22-year-old. Before Wednesday's clash Klopp made no secret of his admiration for the Benfica star, who will no doubt be the subject of bids this summer. "Extremely good-looking boy and a decent player as well," said the German.
