The Benfica striker is liked by a lot of top clubs but his change of agent could cause trouble

Changes are coming for Darwin Nunez in the short term. The forward is shining at Benfica and he and the club are ready for him to go in the summer, for a price of upwards of 50 million euros. The player has broken up with his agent Edgardo Lasalvia too.

Record say that Nunez has signed with super agent Jorge Mendes, who also has Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix and Goncalo Guedes on his books among others. But Lasalvia does not accept this rupture with Darwin, especially knowing that the player is poised to move this summer for big money. He wants the commission he agreed with Benfica for his potential transfer out in the summer. Almeria will also get 20 per cent of the transfer fee.

In this way, the matter is crossing certain limits and even Darwin has reinforced the security of his family in Uruguay and his personal security. There is a lot of 'money' at stake and things are getting tricky. Amid all this, Barça is one of the clubs that is closely following the 'Eagles' striker.
