Darwin Nunez is reportedly edging closer to signing for Liverpool FC.
The ECHO confirmed last night that the Reds are increasingly hopeful they can win the race for the 22-year-old Benfica star. The Uruguayan striker has been strongly linked with a move to Anfield following his impressive season in Portugal with Benfica, which saw him win the golden boot with 26 goals in 28 league matches.
Sources in Portugal have indicated Liverpool could offer a five-year contract, with a fee of €80m (£68.4m) plus €20m (£17.1m) in add-ons being touted. It remains to be seen whether a deal is done but Reds fans and journalists are already looking at the impact the potential new addition could have on Jurgen Klopp's side.
