Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, a target for Arsenal.
A report from Football Transfers has claimed that Liverpool will compete with Arsenal for Martin Zubimendi. The Spanish international is likely to cost around €60 million in the summer transfer window.
The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the best central midfielders in La Liga, and his performances have caught the attention of the two Premier League clubs. Arsenal are hoping to bring him in as a partner for Declan Rice, and they will have to trigger his €60 million release clause to sign him.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have now joined the battle for the Spaniard as well. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed that he will leave the club at the end of the season, and there have been links with Xabi Alonso as a potential replacement.
The Spanish manager has introduced a possession-based attacking system at Bayer Leverkusen and is likely to employ a similar system at Liverpool if he takes over. He will need a quality midfield controller like Zubimendi. So, the interest in Zubimendi is hardly a surprise.
Both clubs have the financial muscle to get the deal done, and it will be interesting to see where the 24-year-old ends up. Zubimendi has the technical attributes to play for the biggest clubs in the world, and he could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Liverpool.
He will help the Reds control the tempo of the game and dominate proceedings in the middle of the park alongside players like Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. A move to the Premier League would be a step up in his career as well, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level.
Liverpool have a proven track record of competing for major trophies in recent seasons and the opportunity to join them can be hard to turn down for most players. Similarly, Arsenal have been pushing for the league title in the last two seasons as well. They will be an attractive destination for the midfielder as well. It will be interesting to see where he lands.
