Nunez destiny looks set

Darwin Nunez appears likely to move to a Champions League club this summer, as reports swirl over his asking price.

The Athletic reports that the Benfica striker has hired super agent Jorge Mendes as his new representative, and he has promised the Portuguese club that he can convince a buying club to pay €80m for Nunez. That is £67.8m.

We know that boss David Moyes is a huge fan of Nunez, and a bid was made for the striker in the January transfer window.

However, the Irons manager wants to find value in the market and we have reported, as a result, that he is interested in signing Armando Broja from Chelsea.

Manchester United are reported to be eyeing Nunez, but there is also said to be interest from Champions League finalists Liverpool and Real Madrid, who will play each other on Saturday evening.

Nunez has been electric for Benfica and scored 34 goals in 41 games this season.
