Jurgen Klopp is confident he will beat Manchester United to land hitman Darwin Nunez.
Liverpool are ready with a package worth £75million — an initial £68m fee plus add-ons — to beat their rivals to the Benfica striker.
But Klopp knows Anfield owners FSG do not want to break the £75m club-record fee they paid for Virgil van Dijk, despite the Portuguese side demanding £85m.
Uruguay hero Nunez, 22, is also a target for new United boss Erik ten Hag but they do not want to be dragged into a bidding war.
Newcastle, boosted by their Saudi riches, are willing to pay the asking price for Nunez, who scored 32 goals last season.
But Man Utd and Newcastle know that the lure of Champions League football at Anfield is likely to rule them out.
