Royal Society star Martin Zubimendi could be targeted again by Liverpool in the January transfer window.
Real have held their ground in the battle to keep the midfield lynchpin as the Premier League giants launched an ambitious move to bring him to Merseyside in August.
As the transfer saga developed, with Zubimendi is rumored to be considering a move away from the Basque Country for the first time in his career after a tempting offer came from Liverpool.
The last round ended in La Real's favor, as despite Liverpool's willingness to pay his €60 million release clause in San Sebastian, Zubimendi chose to stay.
That disrupted the Reds' transfer plans and the club refused to sign a specialist No.6 in the final days of the summer transfer window.
According to the latest from Football InsiderLiverpool will enter the market at the beginning of 2025, with a defensive midfielder as their key target.
Zubimendi is likely to remain on his list, despite his apparent desire to stay in Spain.
