Darwin Nunez’s contract could mean that Benfica misses a significant payment of Liverpool if the Uruguayan international does not start again.
The former striker of the Portuguese team arrived in Anfield in the summer of 2023, but did not consolidate as a regular guest of the first team.

At that time, Nunez was transferred to an initial fee of £ 64 million, but with the possibility that the deal reached 85 million GBP by bonus.
The transmission agreement between the two clubs is subject to speculation, whereby neither Benfica nor Liverpool confirmed the exact breakdown of the additional fees.
A report in the Portuguese media office, a Bola, suggests that Benfica could lose € 5 million (€ 4.2 million) if Nunez does not start any further game for Liverpool.
They claim that the Portuguese association reached every time the striker reached a milestone number of starts in the Premier League and in the Champions League, received 5 million euros for 10 starts and then € 5 million as Nunez 35.
It was reported that another € 5 million will be paid to Benfica when and when Nunez 60 reached.
The Uruguayaner, who currently has 59 starts for the Reds, has tried to capture a place in the Arne Slot squad this season.
He has only appeared in the start -xi since February when he scored in a victory against Southampton in Anfield.
While the season is coming to an end, the possibility of Benfica is to secure another bonus from its former striker, and the future of Nunez in Liverpool is questioned.
The Liverpool legend Mark Lawrenson believes that the team is signed “four or five players” to strengthen their title winner page.
The contract extensions of Mohammed Salah and Virgil van Dijk will offer a solid basis for a successful transmission window.

But Lawrenson claims that you let Darwin Wunez go and have it replaced by another striker.
This year reports on the willingness of Liverpool to sanction a sale were only three seasons after Nunez’s costly arrival.
Talksport reported in March that the Spanish team Atletico Madrid was among the clubs who wanted to offer Nunez a new home.
While Nunez ‘future in Liverpool is uncertain, the title of Premier League is for the club, which only needs three more points to secure the victory.
The red have moved towards the crown and may not have to be on the field to win them if Arsenal does not defeat Crystal Palace tonight.

A defeat for the Gunners this evening would mean that they could only reach a maximum of 78 points, one less than the current 79 of Liverpool.
If today’s game in the Emirates is a tie, Liverpool has to ensure a point in her game against Tottenham on Saturday.
Regardless of Arsenal’s results, Liverpool only needs another victory to secure the title of Premier League.
