Liverpool confirmed the expectation and announced the signing of forward Darwin Núñez; Uruguayan could become the most expensive signing in the club’s history!
After much negotiation, the Liverpool finally announced the signing of the striker Darwin Núñez, ex-Benfica. The young Uruguayan, just 22 years old, cost 75 million euros (R$ 392 million) to the Reds’ coffers and signed a contract valid until 2028. The English will still be able to pay another 25 million euros (R$ 130 million) in variables , which would make Núñez the most expensive signing in the club’s history.
Bonuses depend on goals to be achieved, such as the attacker’s participation in goals/games and the success of the Liverpool in season. The deal was concluded last Saturday, the 11th, but the player needed to undergo medical examinations at Anfield on Monday, the 13th, before signing the bond on Tuesday morning.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
Darwin Núñez stood out in the last season of European football (2021/22) wearing the Benfica shirt. The striker played 41 games for the Encarnados and scored on 34 occasions, with an average of one goal for every 81 minutes played. He was the top scorer in the Portuguese League, with 26 goals, and scored against Liverpool in the first and second rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals.
It is not the first time that Núñez has broken records in a transfer. In September 2020, when he was bought by Benfica, at the request of Jorge Jesusthe club paid around 24 million euros (R$ 153 million at the time) to get him out of Almeria, from Spain, becoming the most expensive signing in the history of the Portuguese.
The Uruguayan is Liverpool’s second signing for next season. The first was the Portuguese attacking midfielder Fábio Carvalhoonly 19 years old, who was champion of the English second division with the Fulham. The youngster has signed a contract with the Reds until 2027.
We are delighted to announce the signing of @Darwinn99 from Benfica, subject to the successful granting of a work permit and international clearance 😍#DarwinDay
