Liverpool have been forced to pay an extra €5m (£4.4m) for potential club record signing Darwin Nunez as he jets off for the World Cup.
The Reds sealed a big-money deal for the forward in the summer as they paid Portuguese giants Benfica €75m (£65.8m) for his signature. Whilst that represented one of the biggest fees in Liverpool history - only behind the huge sum that they paid for Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk - the Merseysiders have edged close to breaking that record having agreed to fork out even more for Nunez.
As per reports in Portugal, it was suggested that Liverpool had agreed to a clause in the deal to pay a further €5m (£4.4m) once Nunez made his tenth appearance for the club - a milestone he surpassed last month.
