Darwin Núñez is being one of the sensations of the season. The young Uruguayan soccer player sweeps Benfica and is the main protagonist of the team’s qualification for the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The Portuguese club is fully aware that they will not be able to retain him, but they will not let him out for an affordable amount either. As reported by the Daily Mirror, has valued him at a price of 80 million euros, amount I would let him out with this summer.
The attacker was already able to leave Portugal last winter market, when Newcastle, desperate to relaunch themselves in the Premier League, put 50 million on the table. Finally, Benfica flatly refused to authorize such an operation because it would have harmed his sporting performance for the final months of the season.
The refusal in the first instance hid the feeling that it will be impossible to retain a 22-year-old footballer, in meteoric growthteam leader and ready to make the leap to a great on the continent due to his versatility, performance, goals and dedication.
Already in its day it was the most expensive sale in the history of the Second Division. Benfica knew who they were betting on, despite the fact that in his first months in Lisbon Jorge Jesús stated that he was having a hard time adapting. It was a matter of time before he did. Against Barcelona, for example, he gave a recital to space, in speed and in reading the match.
If they are not worth only sensations, their numbers are also great. He already has 20 goals and 2 assists in just 22 games in the Portuguese League. In the Champions League, four goals in eight games. Transfermarkt rates him at €40m, but he will leave for considerably more. He has a contract until 2025, so Benfica has that weapon: he won’t let him go if the offer isn’t convincing. Although, seen what has been seen, everything indicates that he will move a lot of money in the summer. New Castle, Chelsea, Barcelona, AthleticArsenal, Manchester United or Juventus are some of the clubs that have dreamed of getting their services.
