\u00a385million club record transfer from Benfica in 2022<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">While Nunez is said to be open to joining the Naples outfit, talks have stalled in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Napoli&#8217;s president therefore decided to take it into his own hands, personally speaking to Fali Ramadani, who is brokering the deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Serie A champions have not yet agreed a transfer fee with Liverpool but Liverpool are thought to be holding out for \u20ac60m (\u00a351m).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But Napoli are reluctant to offer more than \u20ac43m (\u00a337m), despite it being less than half of the fee Liverpool paid Benfica in 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Udinese forward Lorenzo Lucca is Napoli&#8217;s alternative but the 24-year-old Italy international would cost at least\u00a0\u20ac40m (\u00a334m).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">If Nunez were to complete a move to Napoli he would link up with a number of ex-Premier League stars.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-58ba4b8493a25657\"
