"When I arrived at the training ground, I was amazed to see the setup, structure, and trophies here. You can then imagine yourself winning more trophies, and then later on, when you come here again and see the trophies on display, you can say, 'Look, I was a part of that. I was there at that time, winning trophies.' That's one of the reasons why I came here to Liverpool – to win trophies and titles. I want to win many trophies at Liverpool," Nunez added.

In the meantime, Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp was also excited to work with Nunez, stating, "I'm very grateful to everyone at the club for making it happen. We've shown decisiveness and ambition in equal measure. Darwin is a wonderful player; already outstanding but has so much potential to get even better. That's why it's so exciting, to be honest. His age, his desire, his hunger to be even better than he currently is. His belief in our project and what we are looking to do as a club."

"We have wonderful attacking options already, and he becomes part of that now. So, there is no pressure on him at all. He signs for a very long time, and we intend to nurture his talent and see it grow. He's the latest addition to the wonderful LFC family, and I'm sure our supporters will make him feel at home from the first moment he has the Liver bird on his chest," concluded Klopp.
