Liverpool’s decision to invest £85million into purchasing Darwin Nunez this summer felt like a real sliding doors moment.
The club had for the past two years been working behind the scenes to start the process of freshening up their attack, aware that as a formidable trio, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were edging towards the twilight of their peak.
Diogo Jota joined from Wolves in the summer of 2020 for approximately £40million, while Luis Diaz was signed in this year’s January transfer window for roughly £37m. They have undoubtedly prospered at Anfield so far, though combined both still didn’t cost what it took to prise Nunez away from Benfica.
