Liverpool Relentless in Pursuit of Martin Zubimendi Amid Transfer Battle
Liverpool are reportedly determined to secure the signing of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, despite failing to land the Spain international in the summer. Even with their midfield performing well under Arne Slot this season, the Reds remain focused on bringing in Zubimendi, seeing him as a key addition for the future.
Liverpool’s Continued Pursuit of Zubimendi: January Transfer in Sight
Although Ryan Gravenberch has stepped up in Liverpool’s midfield, questions have arisen about how Zubimendi would fit into the current setup. However, reports from Fichajes reveal that Liverpool’s interest in the 25-year-old remains strong, with a potential move for him in the January transfer window still on the table.
Reflecting on Liverpool’s summer bid in an interview with Diario Vasco, Zubimendi revealed, “The Liverpool offer caught me by surprise while I was on vacation. It was an uncomfortable period, but after weighing the pros and cons, I decided staying at Real Sociedad was the best option.”
While it remains uncertain whether Zubimendi’s position has changed, Liverpool fans remain hopeful for another attempt. The midfielder, also a target for Arsenal, seems likely to make a move to a bigger club as he enters his prime years.
For Arsenal, the need for Zubimendi is even more pressing, as Thomas Partey and Jorginho near the end of their contracts.
His arrival could strengthen Mikel Arteta’s squad, making the Gunners’ interest all the more significant. With both Premier League clubs vying for his signature, the January transfer window promises to be a thrilling battle for Zubimendi.
