It looks like Martin Zubimendi will be the first big signing of the Arne Slot era.
In fact, he’ll be the first arrival under the new football operations team, with Michael Edwards as Football CEO and Richard Hughes Sporting Director.
David Ornstein has reported that Liverpool have turned Zubimendi’s head and the Spaniard will sign a contract with the Reds once a transfer fee has been finalised with Real Sociedad. This won’t be a problem given the fact the 25-year-old has a £51m release-clause.
