A point from a draw against City was not only good news for Liverpool, but also for Benfica. The Reds will have to pay an extra £8.5m to the Portuguese club for Darwin Nunez.

Liverpool managed to snatch a point from Manchester City in a thrilling Premier League match after Alexander-Arnold's late goal cancelled out Erling Haaland's record-breaking opener.

However, it was not all good news for the Reds as they will have to pay an extra £8.5m to Benfica after Darwin Nunez made his 60th appearance for the club, according to the 'Daily Mirror'.

The Uruguayan striker joined Klopp's side for a transfer worth £85m, of which £64m was fixed and £21m in add-ons, of which £8.5m had to be paid when the striker played 60 games for his new club.

The former Almeria striker has scored 22 goals and provided 10 assists in 60 official appearances for Liverpoool, 36 of them starts.
