Jurgen Klopp was keen to get his message across from the moment a deal for Darwin Nunez was confirmed.
Unveiled as a new signing a year ago today, the Uruguayan striker arrived at Anfield on the back of an impressive 34-goal season - two of which were scored against Liverpool. On target for Benfica in both legs of their Champions League quarter-final tie with the Reds, Nunez was a standout performer for the Portuguese club as they bowed out of Europe's elite competition 6-4 on aggregate.
Two months later, and the 23-year-old was a Liverpool player. Clearly leaving a lasting impression on Klopp, the Reds acted by striking an agreement worth a potential £85.4million. Paying an upfront fee of £64.1m, Liverpool could be liable for a further £21.3m should all of the add-ons attached to this transfer be met.
