We are delighted to announce the signing of from Benfica, subject to the successful granting of a work permit and international clearance Liverpool have paid an initial sum of £64 million to acquire the 23-year-old's services from Benfica. He could leapfrog Virgil van Dijk as the Reds' most expensive signing if the add-on clauses in his deal are met. Klopp and Co got first-hand experience of the striker's threat when they faced Benfica in the Champions League last term. He scored twice in the tie that ended 6-4 in Liverpool's favor. Gomez was among the defenders tasked with keeping Nunez and Co at bay in the second leg of the Round of 16 tie. While the Reds went into the next round, the Englishman is not shy to admit that the forward gave him a tough time. The centre-back has revealed that he conceded to Nunez about how he struggled against him in the Champions League fixture in April. Gomez also believes the Uruguayan's signing is a 'big statement' from Liverpool. He told : “He has a turn of pace! I said to him as soon as I saw him in the physio room ‘you gave me a hard time!’ He is obviously a great player and like the rest of the new signings brings more youth into the team and more longevity. It’s exciting times and it is a big statement from the club to make such a big signing on top of the strength we already have.” Having sealed a big-money move to Anfield, Nunez will be keen to establish himself as a key player for Klopp this season.
