Darwin Nunez has confirmed he is changing agents in a move which has fuelled speculation over a blockbuster summer transfer. Newcastle United have been credited with an interest in the prolific Benfica striker alongside a host of Premier League clubs including Arsenal and Manchester United.
Nunez has enjoyed a phenomenal campaign to date, scoring 28 times in all competitions so far including five Champions League strikes. The Uruguay international netted in the recent first-leg defeat to Liverpool and added to his growing reputation in front of watching scouts at the Estadio da Luz.
Newcastle were tentatively linked with a January move for the 22-year-old, and reports continue to link the Magpies despite the January arrival of Chris Wood. However, Nunez's sparkling form has led Benfica to reportedly place a hefty £67m price tag on his head.
