At the start of the week, when Benfica were preparing to play Liverpool in the Champions League, it was pointed out that Premier League clubs would have a chance to see how the young star could do against the Reds.
In a story from Correio da Manhã, it was pointed out that Manchester United are one of the sides who are interested in the 22-year-old, and would now have a big opportunity to see him in such a big match.
Now despite Benfica’s 3-1 loss, Darwin still managed to have a good performance and score a goal, and that’s why he’s once again highlighted by the Portuguese media today.
Newspaper A Bola features a story claiming that with the striker’s recent form, the Eagles are now set to demand over €100m for his transfer in the summer, and has a lot to say about the clubs who want him.
A Bola managed to confirm with agent Edgardo Lasalvia a list of sides who’ve been following the striker’s situation.
Unsurprisingly, Manchester United are included there.
The Red Devils are said to be one of the clubs who either asked about his transfer situation or requested performance reports on him.
Judging by how much the club like to scout games in Portugal, it’s definitely more likely they’re one of those with the first option here.
The big list of suitors, which includes the likes of Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Milan, has made his price grow even more, and Benfica, more than anyone, know how to take advantage of that.
Whether Manchester United will be prepared to pay that, however, remains to be seen, especially with a new manager coming in.
