Darwin Nunez transfer: how Liverpool and Benfica agreed deal and why it's different from Erling Haaland

For Liverpool fans all that appears to remain is Darwin Nunez to be officially announced a Reds player.

The Uruguayan is undertaking a medical ahead of completing a deal that could end up being worth as much as £85m, should the add-ons that have been negotiated be triggered.

The overall value of the deal represents a club record fee for a player for the Reds, with owners Fenway Sports Group having been willing to back manager Jurgen Klopp in January with the signing of Luis Diaz in a deal worth up to £49m from, and now Nunez from Benfica. In between those deals they moved to extend Klopp's own Anfield stay until at least 2026.
