Liverpool beat Man Utd and secure £100m signings – How Martin Zubimendi might agree to transfer August 15, 2024 Admin Liverpool 0 Liverpool’s hopes of signing Martin Zubimendi were dealt a blow earlier this week when the player decided to stay with Real Sociedad. However, Liverpool might still believe there’s a chance of convincing the defensive midfielder to join them. Zubimendi was the top choice for the Reds, and they initially thought they had secured the transfer, only to learn that he chose to remain in La Liga. There are a few scenarios that could potentially lead Zubimendi to change his mind and join Liverpool. One possibility is a strong start to Liverpool’s Premier League season, including a key match against Manchester United on September 1, which could demonstrate Liverpool’s competitiveness under new manager Arne Slot. Although the transfer window closes the day before that game, a positive early season could persuade Zubimendi to make the switch either now or in the January window. Liverpool has been linked with signing other players like Valencia’s goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili and Newcastle’s winger Anthony Gordon, with potential combined costs of £100 million. Securing these signings and retaining key players such as Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz could also help Liverpool present Zubimendi as the final piece of their squad. Additionally, a better contract offer might be enough to sway Zubimendi. Real Sociedad has reportedly promised him a lucrative new deal to keep him at the club. However, if those negotiations falter, Zubimendi could reconsider his stance on a Premier League move. Liverpool has had similar situations in the past, such as their pursuit of Virgil van Dijk, who initially rejected a move but eventually joined the club in January 2018. Remaining in contact with Zubimendi and showing patience might pay off in the winter transfer window. Liverpool
