Liverpool plot move for Arsenal, Manchester United target

Posted on by

Liverpool are keen on signing Real Sociedad and Spain star Martin Zubimendi, according to reports.

The midfielder, who has previously been linked with a move to Arsenal and Manchester United, has been named as a top target for the Merseyside club.

According to The Athletic, the Reds are exploring a deal for Zubimendi.

However, the deal is said to be difficult with the 25-year-old’s release clause having to be paid in full.

Zubimendi is understood to have a £51.7million release clause in his Sociedad contract, a hefty fee to cover in one.

However, that would only become relevant if the Spanish side are unwilling to negotiate a lower fee for their star man.

Another stumbling block for Liverpool could be convincing Zubimendi to make the switch to the Premier League.

The Athletic’s report claims that other suitors such as Arsenal and Barcelona have failed to convince the Spain international to jump ship.

Manchester United have reportedly identified Martin Zubimendi as a target this summer.

The Real Sociedad star has been heavily linked with Arsenal over the past few transfer windows, but the Red Devils have now emerged as suitors.

According to The Telegraph, United are keen to acquire the services of the Spain international if their pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte is unsuccessful.

There is ‘still interest’ in the 25-year-old despite positive talks being held over Ugarte, though it remains to be seen whether he would be willing to leave Sociedad.
