On Wednesday, Noticias de Gipuzkoa stated Liverpool are serious about Martín Zubimendi and he’s thinking about joining them this summer.
The latest claims in Spain have said the midfielder has said yes to Liverpool, and that they are ready to activate his €60m clause, if they can’t negotiate a deal with La Real.
This is relayed by Mundo Deportivo’s Gipuzkoa edition, local to the La Liga side, and they then provide their own updates on this case.
There’s no indication of Arne Slot’s side depositing €60m at La Liga side’s offices nor have the Spanish club have received an offer so far. La Real ‘have indications’ that Liverpool will make an approach for the Spain international.
Therefore, the manager has identified the Euro 2024 winner as the main target and feels he would fit perfectly at Anfield.
Mundo say ‘alarm bells have gone off’ at the club as they fear losing Zubimendi to the Reds in this window.
On Liverpool’s interest, the player’s entourage claims ‘this is just another rumour’, while they also ‘warn’ that ‘there’s still a lot of time left’ in this window. The mixed signals may not give confidence to Real Sociedad over retaining him.
