According to Estadio Deportivo, Zubimendi has ‘back-tracked’ on his decision to remain at San Sebastian after their slow start to the season.
Sociedad have picked up just four points from six games and find themselves 16th in La Liga as most of their new signings have failed to hit the ground running after replacing key players like Mikel Merino and Robin Le Normand.
The report goes on to state that the Spaniard ‘regrets’ rejecting Liverpool and wants the Reds to launch a move to sign him in January.
Zubimendi has been described as a world-class player by Arsenal’s Kieran Tierney and with his contract set to run until 2027, it remains to be seen if gets a transfer in the coming months.
Liverpool could still sign Zubimendi
The Reds have shown over the years that they would be willing to play the long game to sign their top targets, as was the case with Virgil van Dijk in 2017.
Liverpool missed out on him in the summer as Southampton refused to budge on their valuation but snapped him up a few months later.
David Ornstein believes Liverpool are still interested in Zubimendi and with the Spaniard now keen on a move to the Premier League, the Reds could finally land Slot’s top target after the turn of the year.
