Liverpool are expected to test the waters for Benfica striker Darwin Nunez as they look for a replacement for Sadio Mane this summer.
The Senegal forward seems destined to leave Anfield, with Bayern Munich being the only team to be credited with current interest, and that will leave a huge void in Jurgen Klopp’s front line.
And, according to reports, they are interested in pairing up with Darwin Nunez, who has scored in every Champions League second leg between Liverpool and Benfica.
The 22-year-old was linked with West Ham and Newcastle in January, but 26 goals in 28 Liga games in Portugal have left him with mid-table links, now aiming for a move to another club. Champions League club.
Means Arsenal and Manchester United, although interested, but also descending order.
And, according to reliable Fabrizio Romano, it is Liverpool that are poised to hit the ground running, with the Red Devils announcing with an opening offer of around €80m (£69m) including add-ons.
Liverpool are planning to prepare for the opening, inviting Darwin Núñez to the water to challenge Benfica. Proposal could be around €80 million with add-ons. Manchester United have also contacted Núñez’s agent. 🇺🇾 #LFC

Some sources, such as Gianluigi Longari, have even claimed that a deal is less than that, with personal terms already agreed and a fee close to the deal.

What does seem clear, however, is that Liverpool are stepping up their search for a replacement for Sadio Mane even as they turned down a second invitation from Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
