Liverpool made their first signing ahead of the new season by cracking a deal with Benfica to sign the 22-year-old Uruguayan international striker.
Nunez has been a top performer for the Portuguese club in the recently concluded Premeira Liga season, scoring 34 goals and providing four assists across different competitions. Nunez was amongst the hottest properties on the transfer radar ahead of the summer transfer window.
Nunez, who is a Uruguayan by nationality, has had the opportunity to play alongside former Reds star striker Luis Suarez in the national team. Suarez is amongst the most successful strikers in the world, and the budding sensation could get an advice or two about the challenges in the Premier League.
Quizzed if he has had a chance to talk to Luis Suarez since completing his move to Anfield, Nunez said via the Liverpool Echo:
Nunez believes he will be getting important advice from Suarez, who has left a mark on Liverpool’s history since his days at the English club. Nunez added:
Bayern Munich close to finalizing a deal with Liverpool forward Sadio Mane
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich are close to poaching Sadio Mane ahead of the new Bundesliga season. The Senegalese international has been waiting for a contract renewal at Anfield but nothing concrete has yet come out of the negotiations. The German giants are also looking to replace Lewandowski with a proven striker ahead of the new Bundesliga season.
The arrival of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez could make the negotiations much trickier as Jurgen Klopp attempts to rebuff the forward line with much younger players than Sadio Mane.
