Klopp hailed Darwin Nunez for his good looks... and now wants him to replace Mane! The Benfica star has had a meteoric rise in the last three years, despite Barca IGNORING Suarez's advice in 2020... but will change of agents delay £85m Anfield deal?

Jurgen Klopp has identified the man he wants to replace Sadio Mane: Benfica's Darwin Nunez. And he's prepared to spend big for the Uruguay international - a move will likely set a new transfer record for Liverpool at a cool £85million.

It was only in 2019 that Nunez was plying his trade in Spain's second tier but now, he is the man who could be the symbol of a new era at Liverpool in Klopp's tenure.

So who exactly is the striker that the Liverpool boss appears ready to pin his hopes on for the upcoming season and beyond?
