Liverpool have agreed to pay an initial transfer fee of €75million for Darwin Nunez after the Uruguay international chose the Champions League finalists over a host of other suitors – including Manchester United.
Nunez has accepted personal terms which will quadruple the powerful centre-forward's Benfica salary.
The Portuguese club expect to gross €100m on Nunez's move to Anfield once performance-related fees are factored in. According to a senior Benfica source, a first bonus payment of €5m will be achieved after the striker plays 10 times for Liverpool, with a further €10m due for 60 matches. The next €10m is also described as “an easy bonus”.
