Liverpool sources insist they have not given up on the sensational transfer

Liverpool sources have reportedly indicated that they remain determined to seal the transfer Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi.

The Spanish international remains a top target for the Reds even after missing out on a contract this summer, while Arne Sloto’s side have also had surprisingly good results so far this season.

Now it’s actually quite hard to see how Zubimendi would improve this Liverpool squad, with Ryan Gravenberch raising his game this term and giving the team an important overhaul in midfield.

Nevertheless, the report from Transfers claims that Liverpool still want Zubimendi, according to club sources, so it will be interesting to see how this saga develops ahead of January.
