Liverpool have targeted Darwin Nunez to be the new striker to light up Anfield and are prepared to smash their transfer record to sign him.
The Uruguay international is one of the rising stars in world football and is also wanted by Atletico Madrid and Manchester United but Liverpool are determined to sign Nunez with a deal that could reach as much as £85million.
Julian Ward, Liverpool's new Sporting Director, has been in discussions with Benfica and it is understood that Nunez is keen to move to Merseyside.
If Liverpool can complete the transfer, it would be a massive statement of intent.
