Liverpool Eyeing Further Signings After Martin Zubimendi as Five-Man Transfer List Revealed
The transfer window is just over a week away, and Liverpool is gearing up to make some moves to bolster their squad. According to reports, the Reds have set their sights on a whopping five new players, with the goal of strengthening their squad for the upcoming season.
Zubimendi: The Main Man
At the top of Liverpool’s wishlist is Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi. The Spanish midfielder has reportedly been tracked by the Reds for some time, and it’s believed that Zubimendi has a release clause of £51 million in his contract. With the new campaign just around the corner, Liverpool is looking to persuade Zubimendi to make the move to Anfield.
Who’s Next?
Aside from Zubimendi, Liverpool has four other players on their radar. According to sources, the Reds are eyeing the likes of Antonio Silva from Benfica and Maxence Lacroix from Werder Bremen. Additionally, Liverpool made enquires about Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes and Atalanta’s Ederson, although neither of those moves seems likely at this stage.
The Plan
The idea behind these signings is to bring in some fresh blood to strengthen Liverpool’s centre-back and winger options. With several players leaving the club this summer, manager Arne Slot knows he needs to bring in some quality to ensure his squad can compete with the best of the Premier League.
Outgoings
Speaking of departures, there are several Liverpool players who are attracting interest from other clubs. Fabio Carvalho, Tyler Morton, Bobby Clark, Wataru Endo, and Sepp van den Berg are all linked with moves away from Anfield.
Slot’s Take
When asked about new signings during Liverpool’s pre-season tour, Slot kept it simple. "I notice that you are focused a lot on new signings! I am focused on the tour, how we played, what we need to improve and what we did well," he said. "Like I said, the bar is really high for new signings because we have so many good players. It is not so easy to first find a player to meet those standards and then ask, ‘is he available?’"
