Liverpool have been told they will need a record £ 85million club fee to reward Uruguayan striker Darwin Núñez of Benfica.
Núñez is on Jürgen Klopp’s wanted list this summer as he seeks to reshape his attack in the likely case of Sadio Mané’s move to Bayern Munich and uncertainty about Mohamed Salah’s long-term future.
The 22-year-old scored at home and away against Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and reached a total of 34 goals in 41 games last season with the Portuguese team.
Benfica will be looking to sell a lot if they lose and are looking for 100 million euros (about 85 million pounds) for the player who signed from Almeria for 24 million euros in 2020. Almeria will receive 20.
