A Portuguese publication claimed this week that Liverpool owe Benfica £5million if the Uruguay international starts another game this season.

Nunez has not started since Liverpool beat Southampton in March.

Speculation in Portugal suggested that Liverpool will owe his former club Benfica £5m if he starts 25 matches across all competitions, with the 25-year-old appearing in Slot's starting 11 on 24 occasions.

However, the Dutchman seemed to suggest that is just a coincidence.

He criticised the rumour and denied that sporting director Richard Hughes has influenced his team selection.

Slot said: “Do you always believe what journalists say?

No move materialised and he is set to become a Premier League champion for the first time.

Liverpool only need to draw against Tottenham on Sunday to confirm their first league title since 2020 and their first in front of full stadiums since 1990.

Slot said of the game against struggling Spurs: “It's a big responsibility because we are aware of the fact last time this club won the league it was Covid times.

That they support us in best possible was as they have done all season and are aware of fact we still need a point.

It's a nice game to look forward to.”
