Darwin Nunez has finally been able to say goodbye to Benfica, as his move to Liverpool was officially confirmed.
Writing on his Twitter account, the 22-year-old said: ‘I have no words to thank the supporters of Benfica, have no doubts that you will always be part of my family.
‘I arrived alone, but I leave with the love and support that these two years have given me. My family and I are eternally grateful’.
It was a touch of class from the Uruguayan and it clearly shows that he will always hold a special place for the Portuguese side, where he spent two seasons.
This is now the fourth club in four years for our new No.27, who has enjoyed a meteoric rise since leaving Penarol in 2019.
Now his next move has seen him arrive at the top table of European football and on a six-year deal, we should be ready to build a strong bond with our new front man.

Não tenho palavras para agradecer aos adeptos do @SLBenfica, não tenham dúvidas que sempre vão ser parte de minha família.
Cheguei só mas parto com o carinho e com todo o apoio que me deram estes dois anos. Minha família e eu estamos eternamente agradecidos
Glorioso SLB! 🦅 pic.twitter.com/uLpYRF4fIn
