The transfer of Uruguayan soccer player Darwin Núñez to Liverpool FC is complete.
This was confirmed by the second in the English championship on Tuesday.
Núñez (22) comes from Benfica Lisbon and has been given a "long-term" contract with the club of German team manager Jürgen Klopp.
The winger should cost up to 100 million euros.
Benfica had already announced the basic agreement on the transfer on Monday.
Klopp: "Exciting"
"This is wonderful news, I'm grateful to everyone at the club that this transfer went through," said Klopp: "Darwin is already a wonderful player - and he still has so much potential to get even better. "
Working with Núñez will be “exciting,” said the 54-year-old Klopp: “His age, his dedication, his hunger to improve.
He believes in our project and in what we plan to do as a club."
The agreement between the two clubs provides for a transfer fee of 75 million euros, which can increase to 100 million euros through bonus payments.
He would become Liverpool's record transfer and replace defender Virgil van Dijk, which cost almost 85 million euros.
At Liverpool, Núñez is set to replace star striker Sadio Mane, who wants to leave the Reds and is likely to move to German champions Bayern Munich.
"I am very happy to be here in Liverpool.
It's a really big club," Núñez said. "I can't wait to play for this club.
I played against Liverpool and saw a lot of their games in the Champions League.
And that's exactly my style of football."
