Benfica boss Nelson Verissimo has claimed that he would like to see his star striker Durwin Núñez sold for a similar price to Joao Félix if he were to leave this summer.
The Uruguayan striker has been in fine form, scoring his side’s only goal in a 3-1 loss to Liverpool, and has drawn the attention of top clubs across Europe. Manchester United, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid have been credited with an interest in Nunez, while West Ham saw a January move for the forward rejected.
Darwin Núñez will be another big name to watch in the summer. West Ham made an official offer for him on deadline day in January: €48m rejected by Benfica. 🇺🇾 #UCL

Come summer there are sure to be bigger clubs sniffing around, but Nunez won’t go cheap.
Verissimo willing to make a record sale
Speaking to the Portuguese press ahead of his trip to Anfield for the Champions League quarter-final second leg, Benfica manager Nelson Verissimo has revealed that he would like a sell-off if possible.
“Darwin is an excellent player, he has shown everyone his qualities,” Verissimo told the reporter. He has helped the team a lot and the team has helped him a lot.
He is a young player with a lot of potential, it is natural that he is attracting the attention of the big European clubs. That [his departure] it will be at the end of this season, or the end of the next depending on what happens.
Now, as for the numbers, I expect as a Benfica fan that he will go for a rate close to Joao Felix. [in 2019].’
Felix left Benfica for Atletico Madrid following Antoine Griezmann’s £115m sale, but Nunez seems unlikely to break that mark, especially given the recent financial uncertainty due to COVID.
However, if you continue to impress, your price will only increase.
