It’s widely accepted among various reputable publications (and apparently the player himself) that Darwin Nunez is destined to sign on the dotted line and confirm his status as a Liverpool player in the near future.
The Uruguayan’s medical has already begun, according to a tweet from reliable Mirror reporter, David Maddock, the results of which won’t be seen until the morning tomorrow.
Darwin Nunez medical got underway at 11am. Expected to take best part of the afternoon, with results confirmed in morning.
So no unveiling today, and technically not until July 1 when Portuguese transfer window opens. But #LFC anticipate a formal signing announcement tomorrow.
