Liverpool accelerates for the midfielder who could best fit at FC Barcelona

The greats of the Premier League want to 'fish' in San Sebastián. First it was Arsenal, who have the signing of Mikel Merino as one of the priorities of the summer window, and now it is Liverpool, who would have another 'txuri-urdin' midfielder on their agenda. Arne Slot, new coach of the 'reds', would have set his sights on Martín Zubimendi to complete a dream trident with Mac Allister and Szoboszlai and be the new defensive pivot starting next season.

From the Anfield Road offices they would bet heavily on the San Sebastian player and would be willing to deposit the 60 million euros stipulated in his termination clause. If he is signed, the midfielder would become the Merseyside team's first big signing this summer. After Klopp's departure, the British have not made too many movements in the market, despite the fact that the team does have certain needs, the pivot being one of them.

In this position, Wataru Endo and the young Stefan Bajcetic are the only players the Dutch coach has. For this reason, the incorporation of Zubimendi would be a priority for the 'reds', where he would assume the role of 'engine room boss' in the new Slot project at Anfield, accompanied by two 'cracks' such as the Argentine and the Hungarian, as reported by 'The Times' newspaper.

Barça would lose one of its favorite options for the midfield

If Martín's arrival at Liverpool were to materialize, FC Barcelona would be left without the option of hiring the midfielder who best fits into the Blaugrana scheme. The player has been on the culés' radar for several years, but Slot would be 'pressuring' for his incorporation. If the negotiations finally come to fruition, Real would risk losing two of their 'strongholds' in the midfield in the same summer, which would represent a significant blow for Imanol Alguacil's men.
