Liverpool could “try to sign” Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi in the January transfer window, according to a new claim from journalist Ian Doyle.
It became clear that the Spaniard was the Reds’ primary choice to come in during the summer, with Arne Slot identifying a new No.6 as a key target after replacing Jurgen Klopp.
In the end, Zubimendi decided to remain at Sociedad, acting as a blow for Liverpool, and the likes of Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes decided against signing an alternative.
Speaking in a Blood Red Podcast Q&A [via The Boot Room], however, Doyle claimed that the Reds could go back in for the Spain Euro 2024 winner in January, with the funds available to make a move for him:
The reigning Premier League champions have rather predictably been linked with a move for the Sociedad star, following a season-ending injury to Rodri, so he could have a big decision to make if the Reds come calling, too, weighing up which club would suit him best.
