Darwin Nunez is interested in signing for Liverpool and has told Benfica that they are the only club he will sign for this summer.
Sadio Mane will be defeated by Liverpool this summer by Bayern Munich.
If Mane does go, the Reds will certainly need a replacement, especially with Luis Diaz being added during the January transfer window.
Liverpool now looks like they want a centre forward rather than a winger, and Benfica star Nunez has emerged as the ultimate goal.

Darwin Nunez wants to join Liverpool
According to a Portuguese newspaper Record, Liverpool had offered a deal worth up to 100 million (85 million) for Nunez.
Liverpool is attempting to ensure they receive the deal over the line, and the move is likely to slow down quite quickly.
Manchester United are planning discussions with Jorge Mendes today in an effort to reach a deal, according to a Portuguese journalist. Pedro Sepulveda.
Nunez already has his desire on joining Liverpool, according to Sepulveda, and it will take a long time to change his mind.
Nunez has told Benfica that Liverpool are the only club he intends to join this summer, according to reports from the Mirror.
With Nunez having a tunnel vision, any rival interest will appear to be on deaf ears, yet Liverpool is only in his sights.
If these reports are true, United may recover from this race as Nunez is desperate to join the Reds.
In 41 games for Benfica this past season, Nunez, 22, scored an absurd 34 goals, adding four assists.
Nunez is on track to join Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, and Dusan Vlahovic as the next major strikers.
Nunez is worth the money, but if he can get even close to his Benfica form, this might be a masterstroke from the Reds, and defeating United to a sign is always nice!
