Martin Zubimendi is fully expecting to be the subject of transfer rumours again ahead of the January transfer window after being linked again with Liverpool

Despite this setback, Liverpool’s interest has not waned. Persistent reports indicate that Zubimendi remains a player they are closely monitoring as they continue their squad evolution under Arne Slot. Manchester City and Arsenal have also entered the frame, suggesting a fierce battle could ensue if Zubimendi chooses to move.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has urged the Reds to make a fresh move to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi in January. Zubimendi rejected the chance to move to Anfield last summer despite Arne Slot's side agreeing to pay his £51million release clause after impressing at the Euro 2024 with Spain.
