Liverpool identify £51m Arsenal target as key signing for Arne Slot
Liverpool are targeting a move for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, according to reports.
Arne Slot is keen for Liverpool to recruit a new midfielder capable of playing in the No.6 role ahead of the new Premier League season.
Zubimendi, who was part of the Spain squad which won Euro 2024 earlier this summer, has already attracted strong interest from Arsenal, with Mikel Arteta also looking to sign a new central midfielder before the end of the window
Barcelona have also expressed an interest in the 25-year-old but they are now closing on a €60 million (£51.7m) deal for Dani Olmo.
According to The Athletic, Liverpool are looking at a possible deal for Zubimendi but face two key issues.
Liverpool are also yet to convince Zubimendi over a move to Anfield, with the midfielder making it clear during Euro 2024 that he is happy to stay at Real Sociedad.
