Liverpool have been assured that signing Benfica hotshot Darwin Nunez is "low-risk" despite the severe worries of fierce rivals Manchester United.
The Reds are closing in on the signing of the Uruguay international, with an €80million (£68.m) up-front fee with added bonuses mooted by the Portuguese press. Liverpool were not the only side interested in making a move for Nunez this summer, though, after his impressive, 34-goal season.
United were monitoring the striker with a view to bolstering their attacking options ahead of Erik ten Hag’s debut season in-charge at Old Trafford. However, the Red Devils have made the decision to move on from Nunez due to fears they may over-pay for the in-demand frontman.
