What about Schtick? I've heard Bayern are interested.
Darwin Núñez / signs for Liverpool

I literally feel his just Green at the minute like Andre Silva was for a while. Don’t really rate him. Can see him being a big move flop.
Sign him and also get Dembele on a free.
Not against Dembele, but there'll probably be a massive deal if it comes to signing Dembele with a signing bonus and salary to compensate the free.
Dembele? Yes, an injury-prone player with a questionable attitude on big money is just what we need.
That’s how free deals work. You want him to play for nothing?
Red flag after red flag if you listen to this
Normally avoid anything Howden says like the plague because he’s an absolute twat and doesn’t have a clue but wasn’t he recently banging on about how we need to sign Nunez and how perfect he was for us
Well it's not Munez but close enough
RVN and Suarez were signed from Dutch League, so was Ronaldo Lima. Neymar was directly signed from Brazil. Antony is so obviously talented.

Loads of BS… Nunez is the real deal. He has pace, ability to take defenders one on one, that striker instinct of being at the right place at the right time and clinical finishing. He reminds me so much of Ruud.
Yes, all of this.
Ruud had much much better link up play
One of the best at holding the ball up and bringing others into play
Andy Cole learned how to do it, no saying this lad can’t
Well it's not Munez but close enough
This has Newcastle written all over it. They will be desperate to splash the cash in the summer and this guy is the latest flavour of the month.
Really hope we get Nunez. At 22 years old he could go on to be another legend for us here.

Amen. I'd really hate it if we sign him.
Oriol Domenech on Romero's twitch stream saying ETH wants De Ligt too!
ETH wants to put the band back together again!
Yeah, it's silly season.
A 100M Benfica can feck right off.
Benfica can feck right off.All PSG transfers are super agent transfers, the fees involved are not 100% real, if you know what I mean.
If it goes above 70 mill we should just walk away. We have too many positions to strengthen and we don't have unlimited money.
60 million maximum or wait till winter / next summer.
The reality is that PSG are going to be in the market for a big marquee forward signing as it’s looking more than likely that Mbappe is off to RM…..anyone in competition with PSG will financially get blown out of the water….
Let’s hope they do something daft like sign Lukaku and not Nunez

I only watched the first few minutes but he's spending an inordinate amount of time on the left wing for a 9. Is that tactical as we do not need another forward who likes to play of the left?
Not really.
Looking at his FBref report you can see he struggles in the build up. He's in 4 percentile for assists and 7 percentile for expected assists. Even more worrying is his pass attempts/completed 13 & 1 percentile respectively.
He looks like a player that finishes moves but will offer little more, comparable to Lakaku maybe? Is that the sort of forward we're after? We already have Ronaldo that at his age is very similar, great finisher but doesn't offer much else.
Would maybe go to a bit more but anywhere near £100m then it's time to look elsewhere
This looks to be dead in the water
What makes you think that?
I don’t think we will match PSG/Newcastle if they do go for him. The word from the club seems to be we want a flexible forward (ie pressing winger who can probably play up top too when ronaldo is tired) For what’s it’s worth I think if we didn’t have Ronaldo we’d have gone all in this summer for a striker. I think the longterm plan was most likely to get Haaland but the club rushed into Ronaldo, yet another short term striker fix and duly fell apart in the meantime

Worth noting that FBref doesn't use the Portuguese league stats - so these stats are only from Champions League games where Benfica had a fecking tough draw. Out of the 600 minutes those stats are taken from, he played just 40 of those against Dynamo Kiev, and everything else would have been against Bayern, Barcelona, Ajax and Liverpool.
His passing probably still isn't great, but it's going to look worse than it is there when you're only considering games against that level of competition.
Nkunku falls into that category maybe
It's true that they are against tougher teams but that's a better matrix to judge him by. Furthermore, the eye test shows he struggles in the build-up too. I think he's a good player and would do a job but how long before people are on his back.
His domestic report backs this up.

yup Nkunku Antony or Richarlison or Raphina
A slightly more reasonable figure than others being thrown around at least.
If the price is too high just get Richarlison.
