Manchester United and Liverpool are fighting for Darwin Nunes from Benfica, with the Reds holding an advantage while Jorge Mendes goes to negotiate in Portugal
Jorge Mendes must play a key role in the future of Darwin Nunes
It is said that Manchester United wants to hijack every move for Darwin Nunes, as various reports speculate about the role that superagent Jorge Mendes will play in the future of the striker.
The Benfica star enjoyed a breakthrough season for the Portuguese team, scoring 34 times until reaching the eighth of the Champions League. This means that he is now one of the most sought after players on the continent with several avid clubs in the Premier League and famous fans of Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool and United are in the forward market; The Reds could potentially lose homeless winger Sadio Mane as their opponents seek to provide more firepower with Cristiano Ronaldo amid an Edinson Cavani-led eviction in the last third of this summer.

Nunes, sensible about his future prospects, replaced the agent, leaving his Uruguayan representative, Edgardo Lasalvia, to contact Mendes, who also manages the future of Ronaldo and many other big names. SIC Noticias reports that the influential figure is in his native Portugal as he tries to persuade Nunes to move to Old Trafford. However, other sources have since dismissed this as untrue.
The 22-year-old footballer has fears that he will go to Manchester after their failure to qualify for the Champions League. One hit season resulted in the Red Devils finishing sixth, which means they will play in the Europa League next season. This is one of Liverpool’s advantages over United.
Mirror Football understands that no official offer has yet been made for Benfica striker Jurgen Klopp, but negotiations are open as they seek to study the structure of the deal, which should see the Reds pay a record club fee. Any move for Nunes is likely to pay Liverpool between £ 83-85 million when the supplements are taken into account.

SAY YES! Will Nunes be at Man United or Liverpool? Tell us in the comments!
Benfica has imposed a price of 100 million euros (85 million pounds) on one of the most sought after in Europe, but Liverpool has indicated that it will not pay this amount in advance. Although Manet’s future may still speed things up, Bayern have been told to return with a better offer.
Their latest bid saw them initial £ 23.5 million in advance in a £ 30 million deal. The £ 6.5 million bonus includes bold clauses that would require the Senegalese striker to win the Ballon d’Or three times, while Bayern also had to grab prizes in the country and in Europe.
Manet recently said of his future: “I respect the fans and the team, but 60 to 70 percent of Senegalese want me to leave Liverpool? I will do whatever they want.” He later clarified his comments, saying: “I spoke yesterday while joking with a little humor and he was everywhere. I think we will stop here. Liverpool is a club that I respect very much. The fans accepted me from the first day. As for the future, we’ll see. “
