Beyond the purely sporting aspects, the landing of Nunez (23) in Liverpool also has a strong Spanish flavor and is that his current partner, Lorena Mañas (31) is from Almeria. As is their baby son, his father’s namesake, whom they welcomed on January 3.

The relationship between Núñez and Mañas has its origins in the Uruguayan's time in UD Almería and since then they have been in the spotlight as a couple. In addition, this same year, in March, the Almeria native went to Uruguay for the first time on the occasion of an international match of Núñez and everything seems to indicate that their love story goes from strength to strength. More before the imminent move to Liverpool where the footballer will play for the next six years.

It so happens that Lorena Mañas had a relationship with Aleix Vidal, current Espanyol player, and also has a daughter with the Catalan, who was born before they formalized their marriage in November 2016. Precisely, that engagment caught everyone's attention as it took place in the middle of the season. At that time, the footballer was playing for FC Barcelona under the orders of Luis Enrique, although he never entered into his plans.

However, El Periódico speculated that the real reason for the mid-season wedding was none other than the possibility of the player leaving in the winter market for Qatar, which requires official papers for couples to live together in the Middle Eastern country.

A future by Nuñez’s side

Finally, that alleged interest of Qatari soccer in Aleix Vidal did not materialize and eventually the relationship between the two came to an end. However, the Almeriense gal has found love again with a footballer who has a bright future ahead of him at Liverpool. For sure, Lorena Mañas will miss the Almeria sunshine in her new home, but it will certainly be worth the experience in England, where she is already making headlines.
