A club icon who turned down Manchester United, the £35m deadline day flop and a Champions League-winning defender... with Liverpool set to sign Darwin Nunez in huge £85m deal, how did the club's record signings get on?

Benfica striker Darwin Nunez is set to join a long list of players who have signed for Liverpool in a high-profile transfer that has consisted of an eye-watering amount of money.

The 22-year-old is close to confirming his deal as Liverpool have reached an agreement with Benfica for €75million (£64m) plus add-ons that could see the fee rise to €100m (£85m).

Should the 22-year-old be announced, he will surpass Virgil van Dijk as the most expensive player in the club's history - smashing yet another transfer record.

The Portuguese giants released a statement confirming the u00a364m fee which may rise to u00a385m

Jurgen Klopp previously called out clubs for spending such large sums of money and even said he would retire from management before spending €100 (£85m) on a player.
