The Reds plan a triple raid
On the other hand, Zubimendi would bring an extra layer of possession awareness and creativity to Slot's team, which has impressed so far since his appointment.
The Spanish international is one of the best all-round midfielders and it is no surprise that Liverpool are negotiating a possible move for the midfield gem, valued at €50m (£42m) per Transfer market.
Liverpool's other target, Pacho, valued at €35m (£29m) by Transfer marketHe was one of the best centre-backs in the Bundesliga last season, making 33 appearances. His combative defending and efficient passing skills make him an ideal player for the Reds.
