Liverpool are interested in Spain and Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, The 25 year old is thought to have a 51 Milion poundsterling release clause and is also among the midfield options being considered by Manchester United, while Arsenal are long-term time admirers. He has been at LaLiga side Sociedad since 2011 and helped the club finish sixth last season, scoring four times in 31 appearances. Sociedad also reached the last 16 of the Champions League before they were beaten by Paris Saint-Germain. A move for Zubimendi would be the first significant business for Liverpool’s new sporting director Richard Hughes, who said last month July would be quiet due to ongoing international tournaments but August would see transfer activity reach “a crescendo”. Liverpool are the only Premier League club yet to make a signing this summer with boss Arne Slot wanting a new No 6 in midfield. The position has been in need of strengthening since the departure of Fabinho 12 months ago, Japan international Wataru Endo was brought in from Stuttgart late in the window last August for 16 milion poundsterling after the club missed out on other targets but the now 31 year old was only viewed as a short term solution. For a large proportion of last season Alexis Mac Allister was deployed in the No 6 position and last month Liverpool rejected a 12 milion poundsterling bid from Marseille for Endo.
