Benfica said in a statement that the value of the deal may rise to 100 million euros, according to variables.
It is expected that Nunez, 22, the Uruguayan striker, will undergo a medical examination today, to complete the most expensive deal in the history of Liverpool.
Press speculation indicates that the contract period is six years, and Nunez will thus enhance the attacking options of coach Jurgen Klopp, amid expectations that Senegalese Sadio Mane will leave for Bayern Munich this summer.
And Nunez’s level impressed everyone last season, when he scored 34 goals in 41 games with Benfica and scored against Liverpool in the Champions League when the two teams met in the quarter-finals.
The total value of Nunez’s transfer exceeds the most expensive deal for Liverpool, when he included Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in 2017, for 85 million euros, according to press reports.
