With Darwin Nunez set to be unveiled as a Liverpool player on Tuesday, there is one important question hanging over his signing.
Is the £80m the club will potentially spend on his transfer an expensive remedy to a careless mistake in allowing Sadio Mane to get close to the end of his contract without agreeing an extension…or is it a masterstroke?
There is a fascinating dynamic when a club as big as Liverpool allows one of their best players - Mane is an all time Liverpool great surely - to leave, and then spends massively on his replacement.
