While he earns €2.4 million at Real Sociedad, Zubimendi's salary at Liverpool

The transfer market remains active and Liverpool are eyeing a new big-name signing. The name of the moment is Martín Zubimendi, the Real Sociedad midfielder and one of the standout players in Spanish football. Manager Arne Slot, who joined the English club this season, considers the player "essential" to strengthen the Reds' midfield.

Zubimendi, 25, has impressed in recent seasons with his technical quality, vision and ability to tackle. The midfielder is a key player for Real Sociedad and is also a mainstay in the Spanish national team, having been called up for Euro 2024.

High salary and desire to play in the Premier League could facilitate the deal

The main obstacle to finalizing the transfer is Zubimendi's high salary at Real Sociedad. The player earns around €2.5 million per month and Liverpool would have to offer an even higher figure to convince him to leave the Basque club.

However, the desire to play in the Premier League and the possibility of working with a renowned manager like Arne Slot could be decisive factors for the player to accept the Reds' offer.

Liverpool need to act fast to close the deal

Liverpool know that competition for Zubimendi will be fierce and need to act quickly to close the deal. Several other European clubs are also eyeing the Spanish midfielder.

The arrival of Zubimendi would be a huge boost for Liverpool. The player could form a solid midfield partnership with Dominik Szoboszlai and would add more quality and balance to the team's midfield.
