Jurgen Klopp has come under fire after his 2016 comments on Paul Pogba came back to haunt him as Liverpool's fee for Darwin Nunez was confirmed.
The Premier League side sealed an £85million deal for Nunez on Monday morning as Portuguese outfit Benfica confirmed the star striker is on his way to Anfield, with a medical to follow shortly.
If personal terms are agreed as expected, Uruguayan Nunez will move for an initial €75million (£64m), which could rise to €100m (£85m) including add-ons - representing a club-record fee.
He is set to overtake Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk as the most expensive player in the club's history.
