I've read that multiple times and am still none the wiser as to whether it's good or bad news for us!

I take it as of 30 minutes ago, no deal had been done. As far as I could see on Twitter, all the so called ITK tweeters in Spain and Portugal have less than about 2,000 followers, and most of them less than about 200 .

would be great to hear either way at from someone at our end, though with it being bank holiday perhaps we're just left with the twitter itk's

It’s odd that Benfica’s potential record transfer ever is not their top story, hell, it’s not even their top Benfica story. I think they’re after clicks rather than plaudits for journalistic accuracy.
Impossible. Juventus have tried to buy him like five times, Tottenham chased him for several years, Napoli etc... they have obscenely rich owners and he would cost a fortune and once him moves it will be within Italy and to one of their big teams. Unfortunately. Would have been nice though.
Most other good strikers in Italy are currently also either old or dirty expensive.

I’m not convinced this 2nd division chancer is worth £25 mill
Let him go to Benfica and have dull DARBIES with SONNY LISTON
he’s given up the chance to play away at Champions or europe once a season , this shows he has no desire to improve as just being in the same stadium as BIELSA would turn him into ZICO over night
His loss

"There's now speculation in a transition record through all times."
Makes perfect sense

Disappointing. I’d actually prefer us to go large and offer £30M for Eduoard than now go for #4 or #5 on the list and end up paying £18M for another Locadia. But then it’s not my money.

Gladly do the same on Nunez, pay 30 to activate release clause and lean on Almeria to make Benfica match it or walk away, 5 million is a hell of a lot of money, but thats how much we're going to miss out by....... Really think Nunez will be that good........No chance Benfica would get near that number imho, but then again its all easy when its not your own money.

If the lad wanted to play for Benfica the whole time then I'm glad he didn't come here.

These aren't the players you're looking for.

It would be cheaper to match Benfica's offer, then entice the player with a better salary package.

Obvs nobody has a scooby whats been happening, do you not think they may have tried that one already JRB? Purely speculation of course...... Im sure we all trust Blooms business acumen and can assume our advisors out their are playing the game to his specifications.......... If Nunez agent was playing that wages/package game, i'd assume he would have told our fellas what his offer was from Portugal and what we would need to do to beat it?
A larger agent fee (bung to his advisor) had crossed the mind too! If he was playing us off against each other?
Looks from the outside Benfica's major problem is having a large fee upfront that they can pay over a short enough timeframe? and this latest offer definitely looks like them stretched to their max........... may be wide of the mark, but looked the most logical point at which you could actually beat them, if there was still a game to be played, which in large part would also Depend on Almeria.
If Almeria are content with 25 mill, we don't win imho. If they could have been cajoled into highest bid wins (and maybe they are?), we could and would win that if TB really wants him. Maybe Benfica doesnt have such a problem with the weekly wages, as much as the upfront lump sum?
Think its gone unfortunately, so likely academic anyway.

Ofc we can if money is no object but as it is, not sure we'll end up with someone quite this promising?. Time will tell.
Guess he may have been number 1 target?. numbers 2,3 or 4 etc may well turn out better, nobody knows, but there is a reason the club have pursued Nunez.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we have other targets ongoing that are way less public.
