Darwin Nunez approaches transfer to Liverpool ( Image: Getty Images) One of Liverpool’s motivations for making a club record move for Darwin Nunes came after the reappearance of previous comments by Virgil van Dyke. The Reds are close to acquiring Nunez from Benfica for a total fee of around 80 80 million. The Uruguayan has impressed for the Portuguese giants, with Liverpool beating teams such as Manchester United in the race to acquire him. Nunes plays mainly as a central striker, which means that he is unlikely to sign as a direct replacement for the unnecessary Santio Mane. The international from Senegal is said to be ready to leave Anfield, with his most probable destination being Bayern Munich. Santo Mane could stay in the country of man as Bayern Munich hint transfer may be dead Messages from Jürgen Klopp and Virgil van Dyke to Darwin Nounes as Liverpool transfer agreed Although he took on a more central role following the arrival of Luis Diaz in January, Manet was usually played on the left wing by Jürgen Klopp. With Roberto Firmino also suffering from injuries, reinforcements are needed this summer. These reinforcements will also be needed to keep up with rival Manchester City for the title, which has added its own superstar signature. Pep Guardiola’s men will see Erling Haaland arrive at the Etihad Stadium this summer, although it has not yet been officially revealed. Haland is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the world and his arrival will make Liverpool’s task to overturn the Premier League champions more difficult. The Reds have never really been in the race to sign Haaland, who have been chased by many of Europe’s top clubs. Virgil van Dijk had previously compared Nunez to Manchester City’s new acquisition, Erling Haaland ( Picture: UEFA / Getty Images) Tell us your opinion! Will Darwin Nunez be a successful signing for Liverpool? Comment below. But signing Nunez can give them a player in a similar form, which would definitely be a huge benefit. This is the opinion of Van Dijk, who in the past has compared the 22-year-old with the upcoming star of City. “I have played against Sergio Aguero, who was obviously unbelievable. (Lionel) Messi, arguably the best player in the history of football, in my opinion. “(Kylian) Mbappe is different, fast,” Van Dijk told FIVE in May. “There is a different type of striker we are dealing with now, who is doing very well, in the name of Haland, also Darwin (Nunes). He is a bit similar, very direct and fast, tall and strong. It is quite difficult to play against these guys. . “ Mohamed Salah vows for the Champions League after “incredible” details of Thibaut Courtois Darwin Nunez’s contract with Liverpool, Santo Mane’s salary at Bayern and other departures from the Reds. Although he admittedly played in a weaker league last season than the Norwegian, Nunez outscored Haland. The striker has scored 34 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions for Benfica, with Haland scoring 29 goals for Dortmund. Given Van Dijk’s analysis of their talents, it seems that both City and Liverpool acquire a very similar type of striker. This desire to sign a player in the likes of Haaland could be one of the motivations behind the Reds’ move for Nunez. It will be exciting to see how Klopp and Guardiola develop their new stars, given their apparent similarities. Klopp will surely hope to get the best out of Nunez as he wants to claim the title again for Liverpool. read more Chelsea’s Reese James responds to concerns over Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold read more Liverpool may regret Darwin Nunez as transfer talks with Benfica begin
