Liverpool are still waiting to discover if they can press ahead with signing of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi
Liverpool's pursuit of Martin Zubimendi has taken a new twist after Real Sociedad told the player he must trigger his own £52million release clause to push through the transfer. The Reds have identified the 25-year-old Spain international as their chief target this summer with new head coach Arne Slot keen to bolster his squad's defensive midfield options.
Local reports have indicated the Spanish side remain pessimistic they can persuade Zubimendi to stay at the club. And while Liverpool have not yet placed a deadline on the player's decision, they are unwilling to allow the situation to drag on with less than three weeks until the window closes on August 30.
