After naming Arne Slot as the new coach who will succeed him Jurgen KloppThe Reds hierarchy did not give the Dutch manager many new signings this summer to strengthen the team.
Only Federico Chiesa joined the club in the last part of the transfer window. In addition, Giorgi Mamardashvili also signed from Valencia, but he stayed at the Mestalla Stadium and will join at the end of this season.
The Georgian is seen as a long-term replacement for Alisson and considering the Brazilian remains one of the best goalkeepers in the world, it remains to be seen how Slot will use them next season if he decides to keep both in the team next season.
Meanwhile, Liverpool were also interested in signing a new defensive midfielder and Zubimendi became their top target. The Merseyside club even started talks with the player to convince him to join the club as they were ready to activate their offer. £50 million release clause.
Zubimendi to Liverpool
But the Spaniard ultimately opted to stay at La Real and the Anfield club did not sign anyone else to reinforce the midfield. It has been recently reported who are finally planning to sign a new number six next year, but are not expected to re-sign the Spaniard.
However, now speaking on his own YouTube Channel, Roman has reported that Liverpool are still interested in signing Zubimendi, as they believe he would be an ideal option to strengthen their engine room.
However, the journalist claims that Zubimendi has not yet changed his position on his departure from Real Sociedad, which is why Liverpool have not made any new approaches to sign him.
Romano said:
“Zubimendi remains a player of interest to Liverpool – the board, the executives and also the coach are interested and Slot has approved Zubimendi as a perfect target.
“But now they understand that nothing is new, nothing is fresh, nothing has changed, despite some reports in Spain claiming that he now regrets having rejected a move to Liverpool and there are perhaps hints that he may yet leave. But at this stage, Liverpool have not received any indication from Zubimendi or Real Sociedad about any change.”
Zubimendi is a top-class player who has already shown his qualities in La Liga in recent years. He has already secured a place in the Spanish national team, so if Liverpool manage to finally sign him, it would be a huge coup for them.
