Lorena Manas, the girlfriend of new Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, was reportedly previously married to former Barcelona star Aleix Vidal.

The Reds agreed to pay Benfica £85 million to send prolific 22-year-old forward Raul Nunez to Merseyside. He brings an impressive goal-scoring record to the English club.

The Benfica center forward scored 34 times in 41 games and has scored 47 times in 84 games for the Primeira Liga club.

Off the field, Nunez is seeing fellow Spaniard Lorena Manas, and the two have a son together, who they named after the player’s dad.

The couple met while Nunez was playing for La Liga’s Almeria and had their son there.

According to AS, Manas was previously married to Aleix Vidal, a former winger for Barcelona.

Manas tied the knot with the ex-Barcelona winger in the middle of the 2016 season. According to El Periódico’s reporting, Vidal’s rumored impending relocation to Qatar may have played a role in setting the wedding date. After having a daughter named Chloe together, the couple eventually divorced.

In the year 2020, Manas and Nunez met in Almeria. Nunez and Manas have relocated from the warm beaches of Almeria to the more unpredictable climate of Liverpool.

Darwin Nunez, a striker for Liverpool, was almost signed by Barcelona.

In 2020, when Ronald Koeman was manager at Nou Camp, Barcelona nearly signed new Anfield signing Darwin Nunez.

According to Marca, former technical director Ramon Planes showed the footage to the Dutch coach who had previously known very little about the Uruguayan attacker.

According to reports, Blaugrana made an offer of €10 million to Almeria for Nunez, allowing the striker to remain with the club until the summer of 2021, when he would then move to Nou Camp.

Benfica entered the picture shortly thereafter, offering Almeria €25 million for the Uruguayan.

When Barca signed Sergino Dest and Miralem Pjanic, they set a record for the most expensive signings in La Liga 2.

The Catalan giants might be kicking themselves now because they didn’t sign Nunez, one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers.

Nunez’s potential to play alongside stars like Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz has delighted supporters of Liverpool.
