[Albion] Darwin Núñez

[SeagullCrow]

Very interesting:

Multiple sources reporting that Benfica have now reached an agreement with Real Madrid for the transfer of their striker Mariano Diaz. Not sure exactly how this impacts Nunez, but Mariano was described as one of their alternatives to Nunez earlier this week.

Really interesting, but it is a loan with an option to buy. It means they'll still have money in the coffers to spend on Nunez if they want both

Wasn’t part of Benfica’s problem that they don’t have the €€€ to match the asking price ?

They've already spent 53 million on 3 attacking players this summer, one of whom is a centre forward. Would they want to add another 2 forwards? Even if Mariano is a loan this year, you still have to factor in the wages. They also brought in Vertonghen this month, who will represent another hefty addition to their wage bill.

Another thing to consider is Núñez's chance of making the first 11. Will Benfica be such an attractive proposition with both Mariano and Waldschmidt potentially blocking his pathway?

He accepted my Instagram request this morning so in my mind that definitely means he's singing now.

Lovebomb him.

I was thinking LWB as I still think Burn will be first choice LB. With Veltman at RB in a back four, I’m hoping we’ll tighten up against the top six whilst playing wing backs against most other teams and gunning forward with Lamptey and a similar flair LWB on the left.

Agree with all of this, as long as arsenal aren't included in your top 6

Great points.......If only you could speak Spanish and had his agents mobile number!

I can speak Spanish. Maybe I'll send him a message on Facebook

This Portuguese tabloid reckons a 22/23 million euro deal to Benfica is close https://www.abola.pt/clubes/2020-08...luz-jose-gomes-pede-diogo-goncalves/858633/40

Oops....... you’re right.

I’d be a fool to wish for a defensive team against a side that we took a fairly easy 6 points from last season!

Just feels like we are being used to inflate the price Benfica will have to pay...

Hopefully we have more options going than just this one.......

Lovebomb him.

He just needs to look at post #1 to know how much he's wanted here.

I nominate stat as official NSC love bomber. Your rendition of Julio Inglesias could seal it, no way Benfica fans thought of that

Question: why is Benfica an attractive destination for an ambitious young footballer anyway?

And the guy going from Real Madrid to Benfica. Wow.

I get it if it’s your last pay day.
Or no other offers.

But to choose Benfica over the Premier League? I don’t get that. Ok, I guess they play in Europe. But so do Rangers.

I can totally see why they would, they're one of the biggest clubs in Europe in one of Europe's big cities.

That aside, some of the biggest names in football have come through the Portuguese league, Ronaldo aside. João Felix, Diego Costa, James Rodriguez, Bernardo Silva, Axel Witsel, Bruno Fernandes just to name a few

Because they're Benfica.

Come out of the over-hyped Premier League bubble for a minute.

This sounds pretty conclusive for Benfica.

This guy for £25million... or Brewster on season loan & the money spent on a left back and another midfield upgrade.
