Darwin Nunez's future at Liverpool continues to be a topic of speculation, with reports suggesting that his former club Benfica could miss out on a significant financial boost if the striker doesn't secure more action.
The Uruguayan international's transfer cost Liverpool an initial $85 million (£64 million), with an additional $29 million (£21 million) in potential add-ons included in the deal.
While the exact details of these add-ons have not been officially confirmed by either Liverpool or Benfica, various reports have emerged since the transfer outlining the agreed terms.

According to Portuguese publication A Bola, Benfica stands to lose out on $5.7 million if Nunez fails to make another start for Liverpool.
The report suggests that the Portuguese side received $5.7 million when Nunez made 10 starts in the Premier League and Champions League combined, another $5.7 million upon reaching 35 starts, and a further $5.7 million once he hit 60 starts.
Currently, Nunez has made 59 starts across both competitions but has only been named in the starting XI once since early February, during a Premier League victory over Southampton.
The Liverpool ECHO reports that there is no indication that the player is being left out due to financial reasons.
Liverpool had previously turned down a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia for Nunez in January, choosing instead to include him in its plans for the second half of the season as it was still competing on four fronts.
Nunez is on the verge of earning a Premier League winners' medal, with Liverpool just three points away from clinching the title with five games remaining.
