According to the additions, Nunes moved to Liverpool in June last year, after the English team paid £64m, the deal could reach £85m.

“He was very impressive when he played against us (in the Champions League), when you are preparing for Benfica, you know what is waiting for you, we know everything about the opponent, so we know exactly who Darwin is,” Klopp said. .

He added: “It wasn’t clear if he would play because he was back from the national team camp at the time.”

He concluded, “It was clear in the first game that he was really good, the strength and the combination of his technique, desire and smart moves, the problems he gave us, we all fell in love with him then, he’s a very aggressive player and that’s good.”
