A €52M DECISION : MARTIN ZUBIMENDI’S POSITION REGARDING THE LIVERPOOL TRANSFER EMERGES

It appears that Liverpool will soon complete a historic coup by acquiring Martin Zubimendi.

Aside from his skill, this would be a bold move considering he has turned down approaches from Barcelona and Arsenal in the past. For FSG, it was a hazardous pursuit—especially when it was made public—because Liverpool has recently experienced a disproportionate number of rejections. Leny Yoro reportedly had his sights set on Real Madrid before deciding on Manchester United, while Xabi Alonso made the decision to stay at Bayer Leverkusen. And let’s not forget about Jude Bellingham and

Moises Caicedo from last summer. Zubimendi’s reaffirmation of his intention to remain at Real Sociedad would not have come as a huge surprise given his prior attitude on transfers. However, Liverpool may have had an advantage.
