Benfica reportedly put a £67m price tag on their star striker Darwin Nunez amidst interest from teams in the Premier League and across Europe.

Benfica have set a £67m asking price for their striker Darwin Nunez, according to a report.

The 22-year-old has been a key member of the squad this season, featuring in 33 games across all competitions, and he has returned 26 goals within that period.

Right now the Uruguay international is the top scorer in the Primeira Liga, which has led to transfer speculation surrounding him from across Europe.

According to Record, Benfica have placed a £67m asking price on Nunez, which was recently increased following his match-winner against Ajax in the Champions League.

This is because the Portuguese club is well aware of the interest surrounding him due to his impressive performances this season, with a trio of Premier League clubs keeping tabs on his situation.

Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle United are all hoping to sign Nunez this summer, with all three clubs being in the market for a striker, which is something each team needs.

Meanwhile, there are other teams in Europe also targeting him, as Barcelona and AC Milan want to buy him as well.
