Liverpool's deal for Darwin Nunez is 'practically SEALED with the Reds paying Benfica £68m in a move that could rise to £85m in add-ons'... and the Uruguayan forward 'has already said yes to Jurgen Klopp's men'

Liverpool are close to the signing of Benfica forward Darwin Nunez, reports claim, with the deal 'practically sealed'.

Nunez has emerged as the Reds' main transfer target as the club look to the future with Sadio Mane seeking an exit, while Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino will both become free agents next summer.

The 22-year-old striker is one of Europe's hottest new talents after a scintellating season that saw him smash in 34 goals in 41 games for the Portuguese outfit, and the Merseyside outfit have become convinced he is the man to bring fresh impetus to their forward line.
