At a time when Darwin Núñez is placed in Liverpool’s orbit for values around 80 million euros (plus €20 M for goals), Almería’s sporting director recalls a conversation he had with the president of Benfica, when the Uruguayan forward left the Spanish emblem towards Luz, for €24 M.
«I told Rui Costa that I would recoup the investment in Darwin. I understand your fear, but believe me it is a low risk operation. If nothing strange happened, the player would be sold for at least two or three times as much. I am pleased that things are heading in that direction”, he told Rádio Renascença João Gonçalves, “pleased that everything is working out” and to see the player being able to promote a fit of this magnitude.
«Darwin is humble, has talent, a winning mentality and a great capacity for work», reinforced the same official, defending that «if they pay a little more, it is not a maladjustment».
