Premier League giants Liverpool reportedly received good news in their pursuit of Martin Zubimendi signature . The Real Sociedad midfielder is said to be ready to accept The Reds’ offer .

Liverpool have so far been passive in the summer transfer market. Not a single player has joined Arne Slot’s squad. On the other hand, a number of mainstay players have left.

After Jurgen Klopp left, Liverpool tried to build a new squad under a management filled with a combination of old and new people. A number of players are still on Liverpool’s wish list.

One position that Liverpool most want to patch up this summer is the defensive midfielder sector, aka the number 6 type player. After continuing to explore several possibilities, Liverpool now seems to have a concrete target.

Liverpool and Martin Zubimendi Fall in Love

Several credible European journalists have recently revealed that Martin Zubimendi is Liverpool’s main target this summer. Now, the Reds’ approach is believed to have paid off.

The Athletic’s credible journalist , David Ornstein, on Thursday (8/8/2024) early morning WIB reported that an internal source from Sociedad claimed that the La Liga club believed Zubimendi would accept Liverpool’s offer.

However, the two clubs still have to agree on Zubimendi’s transfer fee, unless Liverpool is willing to pay Zubimendi’s 60 million Euro release clause which must be paid in cash.

Bright Prospects for Liverpool Coached by Arne Slot

Many believe Liverpool will struggle after Jurgen Klopp leaves. Moreover, Liverpool appointed Arne Slot as a replacement, a figure who has only been tested in the Dutch Eredivisie.

The doubts grew after Liverpool’s first pre-season match was defeated 0-1 by Preston North End. However, everything changed after Liverpool went on a pre-season tour to the United States.

Liverpool were in impressive form in the United States, sweeping up three wins, each with a score of 1-0 over Real Betis, 2-1 over Arsenal and 3-0 over Manchester United.

Liverpool now have two friendlies left against Sevilla and Las Palmas. The two matches will be held on the same day, namely on Sunday, August 11, 2024.
