The Reds are continuing to work on a move for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, who has a release clause of £51.5m. Liverpool are eager to make the Spaniard their first signing in the Arne Slot era.

Zubimendi has been with Sociedad since 2011 and was also a part of the Spain squad that won the Euro 2024 in Germany this summer. But the hold-up in Liverpool’s pursuit of the 25-year-old is the structure of the deal as the Reds are keen to add players as part of the potential transfer.
