Liverpool have received a major boost on the transfer front as they agreed on personal terms with Jurgen Klopp’s top target for this summer in Darwin Nunez.
The Benfica talisman has emerged as the priority name on the shopping list at Anfield with Liverpool gearing up for life without the long-serving Sadio Mane whose future hangs in the balance for the last couple of weeks.
Mane is understood to be demanding a move away from Merseyside in the summer with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich tipped as the frontrunners for his signature despite Liverpool holding out for a sizable asking price to sanction the player’s exit.
Klopp, meanwhile, could be set to gain major ground in his pursuit of the 22-year-old Nunez who has reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with his suitors Liverpool, according to a claim from The Athletic’s James Pearce.
Nunez’s move to Anfield, which looks likely should we go by the consistent rumours in recent times, would be a club-record signing for Liverpool who have the Benfica star on their radar for Sadio Mane’s replacement.
