19-year-old forward now OPEN to £25m deal
With teams in Saudi Arabia chasing the Uruguayan, the proceeds of any potential sale could be very useful when it comes to funding a replacement forward.

Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike are the two looming into focus - with one or the other now expected at Anfield before the summer transfer window ends.
But there is further scrutiny with Luis Diaz and Federico Chiesa reportedly among the candidates who could leave. Both played their part in the Premier League title win last season - although Diaz had a much bigger and more significant role.
Ben Doak worth at least £25m
Together they could earn the club close to £100m - very useful money when it comes to conducting another assault in the market.
Liverpool also have the option to cash in their £25m chip in Ben Doak. The 19-year-old was the subject of transfer interest from Ipswich and Crystal Palace in January but neither attempt reached the asking price.

But now it has emerged that the Scotland international is WILLING to leave the club this summer. Premier League suitors are queuing up for the wide man - who succeeded on loan at Middlesbrough last season.
Forest and PSV join the Doak chase
The Express has named Nottingham Forest as interested - with the Tricky Trees requiring a replacement for £55m Anthony Elanga, who has joined Newcastle.
'With a vacancy open on the right wing, bosses at the City Ground have identified Doak as one of the options to fill it,' the report reads.
Forest join the likes of Bournemouth and Everton on the list of possible destinations for Doak - but the Express has ALSO named overseas parties in PSV and potentially interested teams in LaLiga.

Liverpool hit five past Stoke in training ground friendly win
Liverpool Hit Five Against Stoke in Behind-Closed-Doors Pre-Season Win Pre-season rolls on with dominant display Liverpool turned up the intensity at the AXA Training Centre on Sunday, easing to a 5-0 win over Stoke in a behind-closed-doors friendly. After a week where the club was united in mourning, this was a much-needed session of football for the squad, who now prepare to head east for their pre-season tour of Asia. It comes just a week after the emotionally charged 3-1 win over Preston, played in memory of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva following their tragic deaths in a car accident. While that fixture was a tribute, this latest outing against Championship opposition carried more of a competitive edge. Nunez makes his mark with hat-trick Darwin Nunez was the standout performer, registering a first-half hat-trick that oozed confidence and instinct. His first came from a poacher's position, rifling home after Dominik Szoboszlai lost the ball in the box. The second was a well-timed run and composed finish after a clever through ball from Szoboszlai, and he completed the treble by tapping in from Curtis Jones' cross. Photo IMAGO It was a sharp reminder of the firepower Liverpool possess when Nunez is on the front foot. Rio Ngumoha, the much-hyped youngster, continued his impressive rise with a deflected effort to make it four before the interval. Federico Chiesa then capped off the scoring in the second half with the fifth, adding a touch of composure to a match that already felt decided by the break. Photo: IMAGO Wirtz features as senior stars return Virgil van Dijk featured for valuable minutes, easing back into rhythm ahead of the Asia tour. Florian Wirtz, Liverpool's marquee summer signing, made his first outing in a red shirt, playing the opening 45 minutes in what was his unofficial debut. Absent from the fixture were Luis Diaz, Alisson Becker and Alexis Mac Allister. Their exclusion is understood to be precautionary, and all three are expected to be part of Arne Slot's travelling squad to Asia. Asia schedule set ahead of season opener Liverpool's next test comes against AC Milan in Hong Kong on Saturday. After that, it is a trip to Japan where they will meet Yokohama FM. The final fixture before competitive action resumes is a double-header with Athletic Club on Monday, 2 August. The curtain will rise on the new campaign with the Community Shield clash against Crystal Palace at Wembley, before Bournemouth arrive at Anfield to kick off Liverpool's Premier League title defence.
