Manchester United set to pay million-dollar buyout clause for next star from Benfica

After finishing their season without the Premier League and without the possibility of playing in the UEFA Champions League, the Red Devils want to reinforce themselves as never before for the next season, and for this reason, Manchester United is preparing to pay a million-dollar buyout clause for their next star player, who would come from Benfica.

The team now managed by Erik ten Hag has very clear priorities and is already looking for reinforcements outside the Premier League, so they have turned to the Primeira Liga, the first division of Portuguese soccer, a league in which they have set their sights since their next star signing would come from this competition. 

And what is most striking is the million-dollar figure that the Manchester team is willing to pay for the player, but beyond his transfer, the team is also considering paying the million-dollar termination clause, which far exceeds the price of the player in question, so it remains to be seen if this Benfica player can be what United expects. 

The Benfica player for whom Manchester United would pay a million-dollar buyout clause

The player in question is Darwin Núñez, Benfica's 22-year-old center forward who has accumulated 34 goals and 4 assists in 41 official matches and is one of the most desired players on the international scene due to the interest he has aroused in different squads such as Real Madrid or Atlético de Madrid, clubs that have not yet had a formal approach but are known to be very interested in the player. 

But Manchester United has a considerable advantage over the Spanish clubs and that is that the player's agent is none other than Jorge Mendes, a manager who has many contacts in England and who has in his portfolio of clients Cristiano Ronaldo, who is currently playing for Manchester United. And for this reason, the Red Devils may have a considerable advantage when it comes to signing the player, whose buyout clause is just over 154 million dollars.
