According to British newspaper Sportmail, Liverpool sent an offer of 106 million USD to Benfica to buy Nunez – a striker who is also in the sights of Atletico and Man Utd.
If this transfer is approved, Nunez will become the most expensive contract in Liverpool history.
According to Sportmail, not only Nunez, Man Utd also had difficulty negotiating to recruit Frenkie de Jong.

Many `Red Devils` fans are therefore angry with the transfer policy, saying that the board of directors does not support new coach Erik ten Hag to reform the squad.
`Man Utd negotiated slowly and missed all the goals. Yet many people thought that the club would reform strongly. Man Utd is like a farce, and nothing will change until the Glazer family stops
A fan who bought Man Utd’s season tickets emphasized that the club needs to quickly aim for another goal.
In the 2021-2022 season, Nunez played explosively, scoring 34 goals for Benfica in 41 matches in all competitions.
Nunez can play the left striker position as well as the center forward position, and is considered the perfect replacement for Sadio Mane – who openly wants to go to Bayern.
Last month, many Man Utd fans were also jealous and asked Old Trafford owners to support coach Ten Hag, after Man City reached an agreement to recruit striker Erling Haaland for 63 million USD.
In the summer of 2021, Haaland is Man Utd’s top target as a center forward.
At the end of the transfer period, Old Trafford’s owner recruited Cristiano Ronaldo for $18 million, with $10 million in additional fees, from Juventus.
To serve this ambition, Man Utd’s board of directors soon appointed coach Erik Ten Hag, replacing interim coach Ralf Rangnick after this season ends.
