While the total transfer was initially reported as £85 million, Liverpool paid £64 million upfront, with the remaining £21 million designated for add-ons.
The Reds had to make an additional payment of £4.3 million to Benfica after Nunez completed 10 appearances for Liverpool. Now, as per The Mirror, another payment of £8.5 million is on the horizon, triggered by Nunez reaching his 60th appearance for Liverpool in the recent 1-1 draw against Manchester City.
Nunez, following a successful international stint where he scored three goals in two games for Uruguay, earned his seventh Premier League start of the season in the match.
Despite not finding the net in the crucial clash, with Trent Alexander-Arnold scoring an 80th-minute equalizer against Erling Haaland's opener, Nunez's contribution led to the additional payment.
The forward, substituted in the 85th minute, was involved in a heated exchange with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola after the game at the Etihad Stadium. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had to intervene, and when asked about Nunez's reaction, Klopp was questioned whether it was influenced by the rivalry between the two clubs.
