Jamie Carragher has admitted that Liverpool need to refresh their usual attacking trio, as the club is ready to announce the signing of Darwin Nunes and believes that they have achieved “proper” hiring when they scattered the money in the past.
The transfer has already been confirmed by Benfica after they announced in a statement that Nunes will pay € 75 million (£ 64 million) plus bonuses that could increase the total fee to a staggering € 100 million (£ 85 million). million) and the Anfield Record.
His arrival is ready to compensate for the expected departure of Sadio Mane, as Bayern Munich is still in talks for the services of the 30-year-old, and the legend of the Reds Carragher will now put his potential replacement in the best XI of Jurgen Klopp.

Reds legend Jamie Carragher has admitted that Jurgen Klopp’s top three need to be refreshed
“I think at the beginning of next season the strongest trio of Liverpool will be Mo Salah, Nunes and [Luis] Diaz on the left, “he told Sky Sports.
Carragher also pointed to the previous success of other players who came for big fees under the leadership of Klopp’s boss, adding: “Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp’s leadership is certainly recruiting properly, certainly when spending big money.
“The type of numbers we’re talking about here is what they spent on the goalkeeper [Alisson Becker]. He made a huge difference.
In fact, Carragher says Nunes would already be in the team’s first pick in the starting XI
“Liverpool are currently in need of a refresh of the front line because of the age of these three, which have been absolutely fantastic for the last four or five years.
“It’s sad to see him broken in some way, but it had to end sooner or later. With Sadio Mane looking like he was leaving, Liverpool had to do something.
– He is [Nunez] the one they have identified.
Nunes will overtake Virgil van Dyke as the most expensive player in the club’s history.

Benfica added that the deal is now based on the striker to complete his personal terms with the Merseyside team.
However, Sportsmail understands that they have already been agreed, and Nunes will sign a six-year contract worth more than £ 6 million a year.
The fee was agreed today, although Liverpool have not yet confirmed the change.

The striker’s heart is believed to be on Klopp’s side, and he has turned down fierce interest from Manchester United and Newcastle in the trial.
Liverpool are expected to pay the initial £ 64 million with an additional £ 12.8 million for participation. An additional £ 8.5 million is linked to the team’s success.
Nunes has scored 34 times in 41 games in all competitions last season, with six of his goals coming in the Champions League, including two against his new club.
