Darwin Nunez's former club UD Almeria are set to profit from the striker's move from Benfica to Liverpool thanks to a sell-on clause previously inserted in his contract.
The 22-year-old played for the Spanish outfit during their days in Segunda Division in the 2019-20 season.
And now, nearly two years after he left south-east Spain, his old employers could be set to receive a further huge fee due to a clause that was inserted in his contract ahead of his transfer to the Portuguese giants in 2020.

Almeria, recently promoted to La Liga, will receive 20% of any profit Benfica coup from the forward's switch to Liverpool.
The Reds will pay a set fee of £64.1million (€75m) for Nunez with a possible £12.8m (€15m) in appearance-related add-ons and further £8.5m (€10m) depending on team success, meaning the total deal could be worth £85.4m.
Almeria sold the Uruguay international to Benfica for a reported £20m in the summer of 2020. And, with the 20% profit clause about to kick in, it means they stand to make a multi-million pound windfall.
It will take their total earnings for Nunez to around or above the £30m mark, which would be dubbed a success by many of Europe's leading clubs, never mind one that has just ended a seven-year hiatus from Spain's top division.
Nunez has blossomed during his time in Portugal, where he finished what appears to be his last campaign at the Stade de Luz with 34 goals in all competitions.
It was during April's Champions League quarter-final ties with Liverpool that he truly grabbed the attention of Reds supporters as he scored in both of the fixtures between the clubs.
