Benfica’s Darwin Nunez has been linked with a move to Liverpool in the upcoming summer transfer window amid speculation surrounding Sadio Mane’s future.
After the UEFA Champions League final defeat, Mane expressed his desire to move away from Liverpool this summer, with Bayern Munich currently monitoring the Senegalese stars' situation. The German champions are believed to have offered £25 million including add-ons for Mane, but the Echo understands Liverpool swiftly rejected this offer.
With it looking increasingly likely that Mane won’t be at Anfield next season, a replacement will be needed, with Nunez identified as a potential replacement. The Uruguayan forward grabbed 34 goals in 41 appearances, whilst also impressing in the 3-3 draw at Anfield in the Champions League quarter-final in April.
