The Zubimendi-Liverpool rumour is starting to feel as drawn out as the Mbappé-Madrid saga, but fresh claims have emerged. Reports suggest Zubimendi is growing frustrated with Real Sociedad’s performances and is eyeing a move. TEAMtalk now claims Liverpool are confident of beating Arsenal to secure what they see as the ideal January signing for Arne Slot.
Liverpool targeted 25-year-old Martín Zubimendi as the perfect midfielder to orchestrate Arne Slot’s system during the summer. The Reds showed their readiness to activate his €60m release clause to secure his move from Real Sociedad. However, Zubimendi opted to stay loyal to his boyhood club. Instead of pursuing alternatives, Liverpool chose to rely on their existing squad. This decision has paid off, with Ryan Gravenberch revitalising his career and delivering exceptional performances, ensuring Liverpool haven’t felt Zubimendi’s absence.
Is Zubimendi tipped for premier league football
Liverpool’s admiration for Martín Zubimendi remains strong, as does their determination to equip Arne Slot with a midfielder perfectly suited to his system.
According to a recent report from Spanish outlet TDF, Liverpool’s pursuit of Zubimendi has received a significant boost. The midfielder has reportedly decided to leave Real Sociedad in January, believing the time is right to make his move. While Real Sociedad are nearly powerless to block the transfer due to his release clause, Zubimendi must take the initiative to secure his departure.
TDF claims the elegant playmaker has made up his mind and is counting down the weeks until he joins the Premier League. Regret over not leaving last summer has reportedly fuelled his resolve to take this step.
Zubimendi’s dissatisfaction with Real Sociedad’s struggles.. currently sitting 10th with just five wins—appears to have heightened his desire for a move. Craving Champions League football and a genuine shot at silverware, Liverpool emerges as the most compelling destination for the Spanish playmaker at this stage.
