Liverpool’s £85m new signing Darwin Nunez’s Wag is Lorena Manas who used to date ex-Barcelona striker Aleix Vidal
MEET the stunning Wag of the man Liverpool fans are hoping will set the Premier League alight.
Spaniard Lorena Manas gave birth to her first child with Darwin Nunez, named after his dad, in January.
The pretty blonde also has a seven-year daughter called Chloe with ex-Barcelona winger Aleix Vidal.
Lorena met her current partner when he played for Almeria in Spain, before he signed for Benfica in September 2020 and cemented his reputation as a prolific goalscorer.
She posted an emotional message to her children earlier this year alongside a photo showing her in hospital alongside the Uruguayan international after giving birth to their first son.
It read: “I would like you to fall down many times and always get up because that would mean you live intensely and without fear.

“I would like you to be nice to those who are in an underprivileged situation and unforgiving with those who abuse others, that you have the courage to take your own decisions and that nobody marks out your path.”
Darwin, who at just 22 is believed to be several years younger than Lorena, confessed after signing for Benfica that he dedicates all his goals to his family, including his girlfriend.
The frontman, expected to fly to the UK and seal his £85million move to the Reds, calls them his “shelter.”
Some online reports have incorrectly claimed Lorena, who hails from Almeria in south-east Spain where she gave birth at the start of the year, is from Uruguay.
She got to know her partner’s homeland in March in a visit which coincided with an international game.
Darwin wrote alongside a series of photos showing them together: “First time in Uruguay my love and I hope there will be many more.
"Thank you for so much. I love you.”
Lorena, said to have stayed on friendly terms with Lionel Messi’s wife Antonela Roccuzzo from their time in Barcelona together when she was dating Vidal, is not shy about showing off her shapely body on Instagram and used to love posting bikini selfies before falling pregnant.

She described herself as the “luckiest mum” in the world after she found out she was going to have her second child.
Lorena is believed to have split from Aleix Vidal, now with La Liga side Espanyol, in the spring of 2018.
Darwin, who scored 34 goals in 41 games in the 2021-22 season, is expected to earn around £120,000-a-week at Liverpool.
