Liverpool close in on Darwin Nunez deal as talks reach final stage

Liverpool are close to agreeing a deal with Benfica over Darwin Nunez that would smash the club’s transfer record.

Talks are currently ongoing between the two clubs. While agreement on a payment structure in line with Liverpool's valuation is yet to be finalised, swift progress is being made.

Virgil van Dijk is currently the Reds' record signing, arriving from Southampton for a £75million fee in January 2018, though Nunez could push the club past this mark in a deal believed to be worth €80m (£68.3m) plus €20m (£17m) in potential add-ons.
