Virgil Van Dyke 75 75 75 εκατο 75m’s pay is the highest paid by Liverpool, who acted decisively against Nunieth in view of Manchester United’s interest. Nunez was the top scorer in Portugal in the 2021-22 season with 26 goals in the league and scored 34 goals in total, including two against Liverpool in the Champions League. The 22-year-old is ready to sign a five-year contract and become the second South American that Jurgen Klopp bought in five months to renew his attack. Luis Diath arrived from another Portuguese club, Porto, for an initial amount of 40 million euros, which rises to a possible 60 million euros, and the Colombian had a direct impact. If Núñez’s deal is completed as expected, it will increase the chances of Sadio Mané receiving his desire to join Bayern Munich. Liverpool have turned down two offers from Bayern, the second worth 30 30m, but discussions are ongoing. Liverpool want more than 40 million pounds for Mane, who is 30 years old and has another year on his contract. Nunieth has been at Benfica since September 2020 and has scored 48 goals in 85 appearances there. He was previously with Almeria, to which he owes 20% of Benfica’s profits on the terms of his transfer, amounting to 24 million euros, from the Spanish club, for which he signed from Penarol in his homeland. Mohamed Salah, who turns 30 on Wednesday, has stated that he will stay at Liverpool for the last year of his contract. With Roberto Firmino already 30, the renewal process that Klopp has undertaken in his offensive line is clear. Diogo Jota and Díaz are 25 years old and Núñez would bring even more youth. Quick guide

Thank you for your response. Chelsea, meanwhile, are competing with Real Madrid for the purchase of goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina from the Chicago Fire. Madrid had an offer for the 18-year-old that was rejected last week and Chelsea are hoping to secure a deal as they were close to one in February. Slonina is a US international under the age of 20 and last month rejected a call from Poland, which he also has the right to represent. In August 2021 he became the youngest original goalkeeper in MLS history when he made his Chicago debut.
