Portuguese media react to Darwin Nunez 'jackpot' as Liverpool close in on transfer

Liverpool have come to an 'agreement' for the transfer of Benfica star Darwin Nunez, according to reports in Portugal.

Nunez looks close to becoming a Red and the club's new transfer record signing, with suggestions a fee of around £68m plus £17m in add-ons is being sorted with the Portuguese club. Virgil van Djik's £75m move from Southampton back in 2018 is Liverpool's current highest transfer paid.

The Uruguayan is set to become the second-highest sale in Portuguese football, as he is expected to put pen to paper on a five-year deal at Anfield after his move from Almeria in 2020. The Spanish outfit are also expected to acquire 20% of the selling fee as initially agreed by the two clubs at the time of sale.
