Fabrizio Romano has issued an update on Darwin Nunez amid links with the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham, West Ham, Arsenal and Manchester United.

The Reds, Spurs, the Gunners, and the Red Devils are all apparently eyeing the Uruguayan.

Meanwhile, the Hammers reportedly made a bid for him in January.

Nunez will no doubt be one of the summer transfer window’s most coveted players. This is in wake of a superb campaign for Benfica.

The 22-year-old has 32 goals and three assists from 37 games in all competitions for the Portuguese club this term.

Nunez was also a thorn in Liverpool’s side in the Champions League quarter-finals, scoring twice against Jurgen Klopp’s side.

“Everything is going to restart”

Romano, speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE, revealed that United have been discussing Nunez as a target.

However, he stressed that there haven’t been any negotiations and it’s still very much an open race for the player.

He also spoke of how Nunez’s switch to an agent who’s close to Jorge Mendes will effectively reset negotiations with all clubs.

“It’s true that Manchester United are discussing internally about him,” said Romano.

“At the moment there are no negotiations because one week ago he changed his agent.

“So now everything has restarted about the talks, the conversations with the clubs.

“The clubs in January, as we said many times, Arsenal had him in their list.

“West Ham made a proposal on deadline day, 45 million and Benfica said no.

“But now with the new agent, who’s really close to Jorge Mendes, it’s completely different negotiation.

“It’s completely different about the relationship with the clubs, so now everything is going to restart.

“The price will be around 75 to 80 million euros.

“It’s still an open race and Jorge Mendes will know how it works, he has many relationships around the world.

“So he will discuss Darwin with many, many clubs.”

According to 90Min, Benfica have ‘already made it clear’ to Nunez that they’ll allow him to leave the club.

In addition, Nunez reportedly favours a move to the Premier League ahead of other top-flight competitions.

Great news for the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham, West Ham, Arsenal and Manchester United.
