Liverpool make Real Sociedad’s Martín Zubimendi their top midfield target
Euro 2024 winner with Spain wanted for No 6 roleZubimendi has reported £51m release clause
Liverpool have identified Real Sociedad’s Martín Zubimendi as their first major signing of the summer. It is understood the Euro 2024 winner with Spain, who has a reported release clause of £51m, is viewed as a viable option to fill the defensive midfield role.
That position has been in need of strengthening since the departure of Fabinho 12 months ago. The Japan international Wataru Endo was brought in from Stuttgart late in the window for £16m after Liverpool missed out on a couple of other targets but the now 31-year-old was viewed as a short-term solution.
