It’s now well-known that Liverpool are targeting Martin Zubimendi as a key acquisition for the remaining period of the summer transfer window. Yet, recent developments indicate that the Reds are encountering significant obstacles in their pursuit of the Real Sociedad midfielder.
Since the news first emerged that Liverpool were interested in Zubimendi earlier this week, the transfer gossip has been buzzing with various and sometimes conflicting reports regarding the 25-year-old’s possible transfer.
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has shared the latest details, indicating that while Liverpool’s interest in the Spanish player is confirmed, they have not yet started direct negotiations with Real Sociedad. The Basque team is still awaiting a clear decision from Zubimendi about his future.
Plettenberg mentioned on X that Real Sociedad have been officially notified of Liverpool’s strong interest in Martín Zubimendi. Consequently, discussions are ongoing among Liverpool, the player, and his representatives, with the club’s approval.
However, he also pointed out that no direct talks between the clubs have occurred so far. The 25-year-old midfielder has yet to signal to his current club any intention to leave, which means Liverpool have some work ahead if they want to secure Zubimendi’s move to Anfield.
