Liverpool have been handed a potential boost in their pursuit of Benfica striker Darwin Nunez.
The Reds have identified Nunez as their top transfer target this summer, as Jurgen Klopp looks to reshape his attack. With Sadio Mane attracting interest from Bayern Munich, and Takumi Minamino likely to head for the exit door, a new attacker is a priority addition for Liverpool.
A fee is yet to be agreed between Liverpool and Benfica over Nunez, despite suggestions the player has already told his family and friends he is moving to Anfield. Reports in Portugal on Friday claimed Nunez has informed those close to him that he intends to move to Merseyside, despite interest from other clubs including Manchester United.
