<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-xavi-hernandez-target-turns-down-liverpool-offer-report-20220607-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Liverpool</a>have already started to think about assembling the squad for next season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/how-many-titles-does-jurgen-klopp-have-complete-list-by-year-of-trophies-won-by-the-german-manager-20220525-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jurgen Klopp</a> will continue at Anfield, having renewed his contract until 2026, but new faces are expected to join the club. Liverpool announced that seven players will be leaving the club on July 1, including Divock Origi and Loris Karius.
The 27-year-old striker went down in the Reds´ history after the crucial goals against Everton and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-manchester-united-send-offer-for-frenkie-de-jong-after-manchester-city-interest-20220609-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a>, before netting the clincher in the 2018-2019 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/uefa-champions-league-the-9-records-liverpool-would-have-broken-if-they-had-won-the-title-20220529-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champions League</a> Final victory over Tottenham. While the goalkeeper also went down in the history of the English team, but for a big mistake, he committed in the 2017-2018UCL Finalagainst <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-real-madrid-get-their-man-aurelien-tchouamenis-contract-details-20220607-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a>, which ended in defeat for Klopp’s team.
But the departure Liverpool will feel most keenly will be that of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/bayern-munich-to-up-their-bid-on-liverpools-sadio-mane-20220606-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sadio Mane</a>. Although it has not yet been confirmed, all indications are that the Senegalese will join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-the-solution-to-finally-get-bayern-to-agree-to-sell-robert-lewandowski-20220604-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bayern Munich</a>. The Reds have already rejected two offers from the German club, one for €26 million and the other for €35 million. It is expected that CEO Oliver Kahn travelto Liverpool to close the deal for Mane once and for all. Meanwhile, the Reds have been working to sign the Senegalese’s perfect replacement, and they have found him.
<h2>Liverpool to sign Darwin Nunez in record deal</h2>
Liverpool will make a big financial effort to sign <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/darwin-nunez-valued-at-100-million-euros-among-erik-ten-hag-s-top-3-priorities-for-manchester-united-20220428-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darwin Nunez</a>. According to reports, the English team havemade <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/real-madrid-man-city-man-united-and-benfica-all-fighting-for-a-21-year-old-argentine-promising-star-20220518-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Benfica</a> an offer of 80,000,000 euros plus a 20,000,000-euro bonus for the 22-year-old. If the deal goes through, the striker will become the second most expensive sale in Benfica’s history and the most expensive purchase in Liverpool’s history. Currently, the English club’s most expensive purchase was the transfer of Virgil van Dijk from Southampton for €84,650,000 in 2018.
All that remains is for Liverpool and Benfica to reach an agreement, as the Reds and Nunez have already agreed on the player’s contract, who will sign a five-year contract and earn 6,000,000 euros per year. As reported by Fabrizio Romano,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/cristiano-ronaldo-reportedly-makes-decision-on-his-future-as-man-united-bid-farewell-to-several-players-20220603-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Manchester United</a> are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to bid for the player if any unforeseen circumstances arise.
Liverpool see Nunez as Mane’s ideal replacement. Based on the statistics, last season Mane made 34 appearances, played 2824 minutes, scored 16 goals, averaged 0.5 goals per 90′, and provided 2 assists. Nunez, on the other hand, made 28 appearances, played 1986 minutes, scored 26 goals, averaged 1.2 goals per 90’, and provided 4 assists.

Nunez has drawn comparisons to fellow countryman <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-edinson-cavani-has-chosen-where-he-wants-to-play-in-2022-and-its-not-manchester-united-20211217-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Edinson Cavani</a>, although he has yet to explode with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/why-does-uruguay-have-4-stars-above-their-crest-20211004-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Uruguay</a>, Nunez has 2 goals in 8 caps for La Celeste and is seen as the face of the 2-time World champions past Qatar 2022.
According to L’ÉQUIPE Nunez will be one of the biggest transfer targets of the summer with four of the best teams in Europe looking to chase his signature. Here are Darwin Nunez prospects of playing for these 4 giants of Europe.
<h2>Rumored clubs looking to buy Darwin Nunez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

</div>
According to the report Darwin Nunez would command a transfer fee in the range of $73 million, his contract at Benfica ends in 2025, so the Portuguese giants are in no rush to sell. Still suitors have lined up for Nunez and they include: PSG, Manchester United, Newcastle and Chelsea.
PSG is set for a major overhaul with the possible departures of many key players, none bigger than Kylian Mbappé. Nunez would be a major boost to a club looking for their first Champions League if he were to be bought.
Manchester United on the other hand is most likely going to make key signings in the summer, but at $73 million and after spending huge on Jadon Sancho, the Red Devils may not have enough to buy yet another prospect. Manchester United need to sign a proven goal scorer at the Premier League level.
Newcastle United would be a big splash, the club is looking to make good on their new ownership and have been monitoring Nunez for a while now. The question is would the Uruguayan fancy a move to St. James Park?
Chelsea is a club in a bit of turmoil, with unhappy players and what looks to be a massive rebuilding of their roster in the offseason. The new owners said they would invest, but in order for Nunez to sign with the blues, the club would have needed to sell a few players, this move looks doubtful in the new era of Chelsea.

Ralf Rangnick and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/erik-ten-hag-reportedly-singles-top-priority-for-manchester-united-in-summer-20220424-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Erik ten Hag</a> will be in charge of leading the Red Devils back to the top. From next season the German will be the club’s sporting director and the Dutchman the head coach of the first team.
Part of United’s restructuring will be based on releasing and selling players, but also on signing new players. Erik ten Hag will have a budget of 240 million euros to assemble Manchester United’s new squad.
Ralf Rangnick advised the club’s directors to prioritize physical and aggressive players, and to work on a DNA profile of the player to be signed before signing him, to do a more methodical scouting job in order to make more coherent decisions before making very significant investments. Apparently, the new coach already has in mind some of the signings he wants for the team. One of his priorities is Darwin Nunez, the striker is valued at 100 million euros.
<h2>Erik ten Hag’s top 3 priorities</h2>
Darwin Nunez
According to Daily Mail, Uruguayan Darwin Nunez would be the striker the Dutch coach is seeking. The 22-year-old player has had an extraordinary season. This season, the Benfica player has scored 33 goals in 39 games. In addition, the striker’s attractiveness is that he moves all over the field.
According to Transfermarkt, the Uruguayan is worth 40 million euros, however, Manchester United are not the only club interested in Nunez, which is why Benfica haveset a market value of 100 million euros for him.
Jurrien Timber
Jurrien Timber is a player Erik ten Hag knows very well. The Dutch coach is currently coaching the 20-year-old defender at Ajax. Timber has played 39 games this season. He is a defender who can play as a Centre-Back or Right-Back.
On his relationship with ten Hag the young man said: “With him I became the man I am today. The coach has talked with me a lot. He has been very critical, in a good and constructive way”. According to Transfermarkt, Timber has a market value of 30 million euros.
Pau Torres
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/liverpool-vs-villarreal-tv-channel-how-and-where-to-watch-or-live-stream-online-free-leg-1-of-2021-2022-uefa-champions-league-semifinals-20220427-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Villarreal </a>are in one of the best moments in its history. The team led by Unai Emery qualified for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/panenka-penalties-karim-benzema-lionel-messi-and-the-best-in-champions-league-20220426-0026.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champions League</a> semi-finals for the second time in its history. Several players are behind the great performance of the El Submarino Amarillo, among them Pau Torres.
The Centre-Back has been a key player in the team. He has played 40 games this season and his high level has made several teams want to sign him. According to Transfermarkt, Torres has a market value of 50,000,000 euros. As one of Erik ten Hag’s priorities, Manchester United are willing to sign him.

Attempts were made to sign Sven Botman and Diego Carlos during Eddie Howe’s winter transfer window. To their displeasure, none of them hadmade the transfer to St James’ Park.
A €15million deal from Brighton brought Dan Burninto the fold, which has been an instant success. Even if the Magpipes’ defense has improved, the club is always on the lookout for new additions during the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/newcastle-prepare-mammoth-bid-to-persuade-neymar-20220319-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">summer transfer window</a>. In the current state of affairs, the teamlacks a regular goalscorer.
Because Callum Wilson has been out since December with an injury, he has been unable to contribute anything on the offensive end. The arrival of Chris Wood from Burnley in a €30 million deal in January hasn’t had much of an influence on the team.

The one player that has caught Klopp’s eye ahead of the match is Uruguayan international Darwin Núñez. The 22-year-old finisher has interest from many teams around the top leagues in Europe and his Champions League form has been sensational with 4 goals in 8 matches this season.
When speaking to the press, Klopp mentioned that Núñez is not the only threat for Benfica but “(Núñez) is a good forward, he’s the next striker for Uruguay… I don’t know how he plays with Suárez and Cavani, but it should be a challenge to deal with them… He’s a top kid.”
Núñez’s stock continues to grow as the Uruguayan has not only scored in the Champions League but has 21 goals in 23 games in Portugal. While Núñez is having a tremendous individual season, Benfica are third in Portugal 9 points behind Sporting Lisbon in second and 12 points behind FC Porto who is in first place.

Now currently with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/uruguay-vs-peru-probable-lineups-for-the-2022-south-american-world-cup-qualifiers-20220324-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Uruguayan national team</a> as ‘La Celeste” goes in search of a fourth consecutive World Cup qualification, rumors of Nunez’s future have begun to heat up.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal is interested in bringing the talented Uruguayan to the club. Here are details of the pending summer move of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-psg-chelsea-milan-atletico-target-benfica-star-with-150m-release-clause-20211007-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darwin Nunez</a> to Arsenal.

According to Romano, “Darwin Nunez… (scored) important goal against Ajax in Champions League. Important striker, he has scored a lot of goals, he has this kind of mentality from Uruguay, he is a fighter and a very good player. Arsenal also had contacts with his agent in January so let’s see what happens because also West Ham wanted him.”
Romano also stated that the Gunners have a short list of strikers which also include Canadian striker Jonathan David, who has been rumored to go to Arsenal for some time now.

Núñez has showcased his skill and goal scoring touch in big games for Benfica, in total he has 19 goals in 42 games. Núñez began his career in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-orlando-city-would-spend-10-million-on-facundo-torres-20211228-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Peñarol</a> with a pitstop in Almería where he scored 16 goals in 30 games.
Now according to Tuttomercatoweb the Uruguayan striker may be moving to greener pastures with three clubs interested in signing him. This season in Portugal, Núñez has 13 goals in 13 games.
Benfica are willing to sell in the January window according to the report, but they are hoping to listen to offers in the range of $90 million. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-psg-chelsea-milan-atletico-target-benfica-star-with-150m-release-clause-20211007-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Darwin Núñez has drawn interest</a> from Chelsea, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.

The report indicates that the two other clubs interested in signing Darwin Núñez now is Manchester City and Atletico Madrid. Luis Suarez is reportedly leaving Atletico Madrid in the summer, and this could open a huge move for Núñez who has had success in LaLiga before.
At Manchester City it’s a different story as Núñez would most likely not be the go to striker at the club needing to fight for playing time, at least at first. Newcastle may have the funds to take Núñez now, but would he play for a relegation bound club is a different story.

5 top prospects to watch in the 2021/2022 UEFA Champions League - Bolavip US

Whether <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/the-top-10-most-expensive-offseason-transfers-in-europe--20210831-0016.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the transfer window</a> is open or not doesn’t seem to matterwhenever a player attracts the interest of any club. Even though it’s been more than a month <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/griezmann-saul-and-the-most-interesting-last-minute-summer-transfer-signings-in-europe-20210901-0020.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">since the transfer deadline</a>, a number of European giants continue to track potential signings for the foreseeable future.
Benfica have caught everyone’s attention in Matchday 2 of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/uefa-champions-league-2021-22-schedule-format-bracket-and-key-dates-20210912-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021-22 UEFA Champions League</a> when they comfortably put three past <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> at Estadio da Luz. Their great start to the Primeira Liga has also been a signal for other clubs to take a look on their roster.
<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/psg-t16721" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PSG</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/chelsea-t200" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chelsea</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ac-milan-t27122" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AC Milan</a>, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/atletico-de-madrid-t133215" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atletico Madrid</a> are all reportedly interested in one of their best players at the moment. However, his €150 million release clause will make these clubs think twice before going after him.
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-58"> </div>

<h2>Benfica star valued at €150m on the radar of PSG, Chelsea, AC Milan, Atletico</h2>
It’s not unusual to see a player who shines in a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champions League</a> game beingimmediately linked with other high-profile clubs. And Benfica’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-lose-to-benfica-0-3-in-champions-league-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20210929-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convincing win over Barca</a> may be another proof of that.
After his impressive performance against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/la-liga-t48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">La Liga</a> side, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/uruguay-t141787" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Uruguay</a> international striker Darwin Nuñez has been the subject of many transfer rumors and, according to Record, all the aforementioned clubs have him on their sights.
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image"> <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20211007_BUS_177015_darwin_nuxez.jpg_22993414_1dd9f45e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption> Darwin Nuñez in action during Benfica’s 3-0 win over Barcelona. (Getty) </figcaption></figure>
</div>
But Nuñez, 22, is under contract until June 2025 and has a €150 million($173.2m) releaseclause on his deal, which would practically fend off any interest from other teams. Yes, he may have begun the new season with six goals in eight appearances, but that’s a lot of money we’re talking about.
To put it in perspective, it’s way more than the €115m($132.8m) Chelsea paid for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/romelu-lukaku-t126046" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Romelu Lukaku</a> this summer and the €117.50 ($135.7m) million <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/manchester-city-t74" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manchester City</a> bagged for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/manchester-city-roster-2021-2022-man-city-list-of-players-20210826-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jack Grealish</a>. So, unless Benfica change their minds and are willing to negotiate for a lower fee, it seems unlikely any of these sides will actually satisfy his release clause.
