Zubimendi Turns Down Liverpool, To Sign New Contract At Sociedad …C0NTINUE READING HERE >>>
Martin Zubimendi has decided to stay with Real Sociedad rather than join Premier League giants Liverpool.
Zubimendi was targeted by Liverpool after they were told unequivocally he wanted to leave this summer.
Liverpool pursued a move as they believed Zubimendi, who came on for Rodri at half-time in the number six position for Spain in their Euro 2024 final win against England, would have bolstered the midfield options at manager Arne Slot’s disposal.
However, it’s understood Real Sociedad tried to persuade the player to change his mind and, ultimately, succeeded, according to BBC Sport.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are yet to make a major signing this summer and open their Premier League campaign at Ipswich on Saturday.
It appears unlikely, though, at this stage that the Anfield outfit will try to sign an alternative to Zubimendi, who fitted the club’s preferred profile for the number six role in Slot’s team.
Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones, Dominic Szoboszlai, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Wataru Endo are other options for the position.
