While there is no official word from Liverpool, sources in Uruguay claim that the transaction is now finalized, and that the player will travel to England to have a physical and sign a five-year contract with the Premier League team.

On Friday, Canal Uruguay journalist Sebas Giovanelli, one of approximately a hundred people Nez follows on Twitter—said the player would be a Red and Jürgen Klopp would be his future coach.

A few hours later, the owner of UD Almerica in La Liga the club that brought Nunez to Europe from Pearol in Uruguay and is due to collect 20% of the profit from the sale sent out his own confirmation of the purchase on social media.

On Friday evening, Tenfield Uruguay writer Diego Jokas reported that the sum had been agreed upon, a base of £68 million (€80 million) plus £17 million (€20 million) in possible add-ons—and that the player will now travel to finalise the deal.
