Manchester United are prepared to rival Liverpool for the signing of Benfica striker Darwin Nunez, sources have told ESPN.

Sources have told ESPN that United have prioritised strengthening their forward line and midfield during the summer window, ahead of bringing in reinforcements in defence. Sources have told ESPN that an issue for both United and Liverpool is Benfica's valuation. Manchester United are prepared to rival Liverpool for the signing of Benfica striker Darwin Nunez, sources have told ESPN.

The 22-year-old Uruguayan appears to be the club's top forward target as the Reds look to reload their attack.

Núñez is said to favour a move to Liverpool. There are now even a smattering of reports out of Portugal that while an official bid has not been lodged, a proposal has been made that would see the Reds pay around €80M as a base fee plus a further €20M in add-ons. However, the transfer story has moved quickly today and it appears that Liverpool are in fact willing to pay that kind of a price for Núñez in a transfer that would serve as a major statement of intent and see Núñez eclipse Virgil van Dijk as the club’s record signing.

It's been phenomenal to bear witness to the conveyor belt of goalscoring prowess that Uruguay have churned out over the past 35 years.

The fit is important, but Núñez has a lot of strings to his bow and isn’t necessarily a systems player. He notched 16 goals in 32 games the season prior to that for Almería in LaLiga 2, but even that is a far from spectacular return. Liverpool of course signed a player from the Portuguese league in January who hit the ground running in no time at all. For Uruguay U20s he netted just four times in 14 games while for the senior side he has just two in nine. It’s a mix of composure and technique that makes Núñez impressive in front of goal. Cavani and Suárez in particular possess that in abundance, and it’s no surprise that Núñez recently said that the former is his idol. These qualities mostly relate to his ability in and around the penalty area. He averaged more non-penalty goals per 90 than any other player in the top six ranked European leagues in 2021-22 (1.00), while his 0.69 non-penalty xG per 90 was only bettered by four players. He has the positional intelligence to create perfect receiving angles from a through pass, and the pace and strength to steamroll his way towards the goal when the pass is played. Some players gain that power and frame when they hit their early 20s and can sometimes struggle to maintain their technical ability as the extra weight becomes a burden. And now, with Cavani and Suárez’s careers nearing an end, a new model of Uruguayan striker looks set to arrive off the conveyor belt. Even three years later in the 2014 World Cup, all three featured in the group stage where they overcame Italy and England to make it to the last 16.

SL Benfica forward Darwin Núñez has prioritized Liverpool as his first choice according to Jacque Talbot of Times Sport and Mirror Sport.

- Report: Liverpool Interested In Chelsea Striker Christian Pulisic As Replacement For Sadio Mane News around the transfer of Núñez has picked up in the past few days, and with Liverpool’s name now hot in the mix, there could be a tense few days for Reds supporters. SL Benfica forward Darwin Núñez has prioritized Liverpool as his first choice according to Jacque Talbot of Times Sport and Mirror Sport. Could the Uruguayan be on his way to Anfield?

Darwin Núñez wants Liverpool, and Liverpool want him. But Benfica stand in the way, and their big demands pose the first major test of a big FSG alteration.

And he also managed to negotiate the kind of instalment plans that made big-money deals manageable. Can he live up to his predecessor’s reputation as one of the game’s top negotiators? Now, with the summer window due to open on Friday, Ward may once again tap into his ‘strong network of contacts’ in Portugal, stemming from his work with the national team as head of analysis and technical scouting. In terms of outright performance levels, Díaz was arguably Liverpool’s best attacker in the final few months of the campaign. Ward also deserves credit for agreeing a favourable package within a short period of time. Julian Ward wasn’t supposed to take over as Liverpool’s sporting director until the summer, when Michael Edwards officially departed.

According to reports, Darwin Nunez is set to instantly become a top earner at Liverpool. Do you agree with his salary?

Nowadays, he's not one of the top strikers because he doesn't play in the top five leagues. If Mane is to leave, Liverpool will only look to do business for a fee above the €30m that's been quoted and they would want a replacement sorted before allowing him to go. You can also catch up with the ins, outs and analysis on Sky Sports News. The other one was Luis Diaz who moved to Liverpool in January and that made Nunez the absolute best player. They focus on playing for the team and making the whole team play well. But he can easily play out wide to break spaces for other players in the central areas if teams need him. Oxlade Chamberlain is another player with just one year left on his contract. Nunez led the way for goals and conversion rate for players taking 20 or more shots in the Primeira Liga last season. The high frequency of long passes contribute to a below-average accuracy, but his successful, raking distribution in central areas would offer Klopp another dynamic against low-block opposition. "He's a 'modern football striker' - like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe - strikers who don't just focus on scoring goals. He fired 85 shots at goal and that also converts into a league-topping conversion rate of 30.6 per cent. And a decent player as well!"

After publicly signaling their intent to bid yesterday, it appears Liverpool is close to striking an agreement with Benfica for their main summer transfer ...

With 34 goals last season and two impressive cameos against Liverpool in the Champions League, it is hardly surprising that Klopp has identified the 22-year-old as his primary summer target. Three major Portuguese outlets, O Jogo, A Bola, and Record Portugal, have reported that this agreement is set to be finalized, with Record Portugal going so far as to say, "It's done". It will reportedly be the second most expensive transfer in Portuguese football history, with an initial fee of €80m plus €20m in add-ons being reported. With Sadio Mané's desire to join Bayern Munich, Liverpool has moved quickly to identify Benfica's Darwin Núñez as their primary target to replace the Senegalese. After Paul Joyce and various other outlets reported on Liverpool's interest in the striker over the past few days, it appears that an agreement is close to being reached between the two clubs.

Liverpool supporters have been waiting for some good news on the transfer front after Sadio Mane expressed his desire to leave the club. Sadio Mane.

Liverpool are set to make the 22-year-old Benfica and Uruguay striker their new record signing in a blockbuster deal.

Now, a deal is said to be imminent. Before Liverpool moved to complete a deal for Núñez there had been reports of interest from Manchester United and Atletico Madrid, but the player—who had a goal involvement every 74 minutes last season and impressed in European play—favoured joining the Reds. A day ago, he became the Liverpool target, the story developing rapidly as news broke the Reds were prepared to pay up to €100M—or around £85M in the club’s local currency—to sign a player expected to start from day one for one of the world’s best clubs but who still has room to grow.

Adding Nunez would ensure that the Reds can compete for the title even without Mane but all that stands in their way now is an agreement with Benfica.

As good as this Liverpool side was - and is - during the past season it felt a puzzle piece short, an orthodox No 9 that really would give manager Jurgen ...

That should prove no issue for Liverpool giving the attacking attributes of both Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson. 'Klopp is still the best manager I worked with, although I didn't play a lot,' Christian Benteke told Belgian outlet HLN after he had left. Add in too that Trent Alexander-Arnold produced more crosses from right back than any player in the rest of the league. In that competition he took 16 shots and scored six goals. Now feels a moment that even Klopp knows is time to target something new, rather than more of the same. Not one of the 46 beat Tottenham's Hugo Lloris. That's a problem. Orthodox. Traditional. The type of striker Klopp has shied away from since moving on Christian Benteke in 2018. Service isn't the issue. The first thing to note is that at 6ft 2in Nunez is excellent in the air, a real threat, something Klopp's front line has traded off in favour of speed and dribble penetration. Nunez is a devastating finisher and looks to cut in from the left to curl into the far corner Evolution - and expect that word to come up a lot when more and more prose is written around Darwin Nunez - is a fact of life, though. And that's what Darwin Nunez represents.
