Liverpool took action to get the signature of Darwin Nunes, a move that prompted Jurgen Klopp to welcome the “determination and ambition” shown to carry out the deal.
As Sadio Mane announced his intention to seek a new adventure, the Reds wasted no time in determining how their attack would develop next season.
And he took them to Benfica’s Nunes, a talent that Klopp believes is still a lot of “work in progress”, but with a lot of potential and positive results both in the near and long term.
Liverpool hastened to attract the 22-year-old by agreeing to a deal worth the club’s record £ 85 million, money the Reds don’t throw away every day.
This is a significant expense for the striker, and while those expected to leave the club this summer have to recoup a significant portion of the fee, the Reds’ recent success has also added to the treasury.
But this is a fee that is an exception to the rule, you have to go back to 2018 and the arrival of Virgil van Dyke and Alison to see such cash.
For Klopp, this made him “very grateful”, as the vision was fulfilled by everyone in the club.
“This is great news, really great news,” Klopp told the club’s official website.
“I am very grateful to everyone at the club for doing this. We have shown determination and ambition to the same degree. “
It is a recognition from the manager that the club remains firmly on the same page in the pursuit of constant success and evolution, as Liverpool can not afford to stand still.
Nunes will have time to find his place and form in the team, but the talent of Liverpool gives enough confidence that he will be another successful signature of the club.

“It’s important that we all realize we’re getting work done with Darwin. He himself admits it for sure. I like how much focus and humility there is, “Klopp said of the 22-year-old.
“We already have great opportunities to attack and he is becoming part of that now. So there is no pressure on him. He has been signing for a very long time and we intend to nurture his talent and watch him grow. ”
