Darwin Nunez

Someone needs to do a side by side of the Núñez vs Haaland fees. City fans in meltdown pointing at the initial fee.

As far as I can make out its c.€160m for Núñez over 6 years versus €300m for Haaland over 4 years.
 
Not really, I can't stand any of them, they're fundamentally sad.

It was interesting to hear that in:

4-2-3-1 - he plays as the striker
4-4-2 - he plays as the second striker
4-3-3 - he plays the left forward role.

Yeah, that bodes well I think - many of the best strikers are ones that can change positions or they started in one position and switch to centre-forward later (Henry, Aubameyang etc). This shows versatility and range of talent - as long as their finishing is up to the standard.

Right. I was going to mention this yesterday. Much better value for money, in spite of Haaland’s lowish buyout. Haaland is just too hyped. I think there is a good chance he will disappoint or at best be no better than Darwin.

I don't see him starting at LF in a 4-3-3 for us when we have Diaz and Jota who can both play there.

Can't wait until Liverpool play City and they are both on the bench... or the treatment table
 


This is the disallowed goal vs Porto I was talking about. This is what Nunez is about – well-timed run on the blind side of the defender, knows exactly how to create space and angle for the shot, a precisely-placed finish, boss celebration.
 
BBC reporting that Benfica have confirmed agreement -75m euro plus add ons.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61780578

Liverpool have reached a deal with Benfica to sign Uruguay striker Darwin Nunez, the Portuguese club have confirmed.

Benfica say a fee of 75m euros (£64m), rising to a potential 100m (£85m) euros with add-ons, has been agreed.

Nunez, 22, scored 34 times in 41 appearances across all competitions for Benfica last season.

Liverpool's record transfer is the £75m paid to sign centre-back Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in 2018.

Premier League rivals Manchester United were reportedly also interested in signing Nunez, who cost Benfica 24m euros (£20.5m) when he signed from Spanish side Almeria in 2020.

The striker, who has 11 caps for Uruguay, scored 26 goals in 28 league games in 2021-22 - with 25 of those goals coming in the 24 league matches in which he started.

He also scored six times in 10 Champions League games last season, including against Liverpool in both legs of their quarter-final in April

Barcelona FC Extend And Double Goldman Sachs Loan

As Camp Nou redevelopment costs continue to spiral out of the club’s control, Barcelona FC has arranged an extension and an increase of the loan provided by Goldman Sachs to fund the work required.


However, the funds obtained as part of the extension will not be able to be used by the club for summer transfer market activity, insiders have reported without official confirmation.
Barcelona FC originally agreed on a deal with Goldman Sachs to fund the redevelopment of Camp Nou, but quickly discovered the amount borrowed was not merely sufficient. Now, further funding has been secured by the club, which will be made available in 2023, as the agreed expiration date on their prior loan agreement has already expired.
Further Financial Difficulties

Goldman Sachs initially agreed to loan €815 million to beleaguered Barcelona FC in order to cover the costs of dangerously overdue redevelopment works to the Camp Nou stadium and the surrounding area. The funds were secured by Barcelona with a bridging loan of €90m.
Organised under the Josep Maria Bartomeu administration at the club, the original loan was increased to €1.5bn by successor Joan Laporta last year, as costs quickly began to spiral beyond initial projections.
The project was hampered by further complications brought on by the Coronavirus pandemic, which also rendered it impossible for Barcelona FC to repay its bridging loan. The €90m bridging facility was initially supposed to be repaid in 2021, and then again in February this year.
Now, Barcelona FC has revealed that not only has the term on their bridging loan been extended once again, but that its value has been doubled to €180m. Issued subject to fresh terms and conditions, work on Camp Nou, pushed back several times due to the COVID-19 crisis, must now start no later than this year’s offseason, and must be completed in full by 2025.

However, the project is expected to face further complications and delays due to the rising cost of materials and general material shortages, brought about by the escalating crisis in Ukraine. It, therefore, remains to be seen whether Barcelona FC can keep to the updated terms and conditions of its agreement with Goldman Sachs.
Restricted Allocation Of Funds

The updated terms and conditions of the agreement are said to rule out the use of any of the funds provided to sign new players and bring fresh faces into the squad.
The club has spoken on several occasions about how they cannot currently afford to buy any new players, and that La Liga rules are making it difficult to register new team members. All funds issued by Goldman Sachs must be used exclusively for Camp Nou renovations, making it difficult to predict a successful season to come from Barcelona FC.

Excited about this lad, as I said before, I’m a total expert on him from watching just watching those 2 games against us and thought he had everything. I consider those 2 games a first and final stage interviews to join us and here we are.
As others already mentioned, the way he slides about the pitch just reminds me of Torres.
