Even though there are still a few months until the summer transfer window, we already know who the big name in the Portuguese market will be. That’s Darwin Nunez.
Following a brace scored against Santa Clara at the weekend, the Benfica star already has 23 goals this season, and all the newspapers can do today is write about a potential big move at the end of the season.
As Record talks about the race for his signing, they point out that Newcastle United, who were already interested in January, are set to be back in the summer.
It’s said that after offering €50m and ‘admitting’ they could get to €60m, the Magpies promise to be ‘one of the most active’ in the race for the striker.
Record writes that in case Newcastle guarantee the stay in the Premier League, they’ll have ‘other arguments’ to convince the player of making the move.
The newspaper claims Benfica believe the rest of the season could put Darwin’s price up, and that’s exactly what is said by other outlets.
Correio da Manhã today features a story saying the Eagles valued him at €60m in January, and now believe they can make €80m with his transfer in the summer.
