Liverpool have identified Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad as a key target to strengthen their midfield. Despite a quiet summer transfer window, the Reds are now looking to make impactful additions as the deadline approaches.
Reports from ‘The Times’ and Fabrizio Romano indicate that Liverpool are interested in signing the Spanish midfielder, who has also drawn attention from Barcelona. Real Sociedad, however, are firm on Zubimendi’s €60 million release clause.
With a new focus on a possession-based style of play, Zubimendi has technical abilities align well with Liverpool’s plans. However, convincing him to leave might be difficult. He has expressed his satisfaction at Real Sociedad, where he is contracted until 2027. Persuading him to move to Liverpool could be a tough challenge.
