Jurgen Klopp have made Nunez a priority, with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah expected to leave the club.
Nunez has become one of the most-sort after forwards in Europe, with the likes of PSG and Real Madrid linked with a move.
Almeria, Nunez’s former club, is set to benefit fro the transfer as they will pocket 20 percent of any profit Benfica makes.
With Benfica having signed him for €22m (£19m/$23m) in 2020, Almeria will be due a windfall of at least €9m (£7m/$9m).
