Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has already waxed lyrical about Manchester United transfer target Darwin Nunez amid claims that the Merseysiders are prepared to smash their transfer record to secure his signature.
It has been reported that the Anfield outfit are trying to secure the Uruguayan's signature this summer — but Benfica are set to demand £85million for his services. Nunez has enjoyed an outstanding campaign in Portugal, notching 34 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions.
United have held talks about the prospect of bringing the 22-year-old to Old Trafford, but the Manchester Evening News understands that they are not prepared to engage in a bidding war with their Premier League rivals, nor are Liverpool. United are keen to add a new striker to their ranks, but it is unlikely they would invest such a significant sum of money in one position when several others need strengthening.
