On August 13, The Telegraph reported that Liverpool’s efforts to sign Zubimendi have completely failed. The Spanish international has declined to join Liverpool and has chosen to continue playing for Real Sociedad in the new season.
Previously, Liverpool had prepared to activate a £51.5 million release clause to bring Zubimendi to Anfield and were confident of completing the transfer. However, the situation took a dramatic turn, and after discussions with Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil, Zubimendi changed his mind and decided against joining Liverpool, opting to stay with Real Sociedad for the new season.
During this summer’s transfer window, Liverpool have yet to strengthen their squad through signings, and Zubimendi, their main transfer target, rejecting their advances is a significant blow to the Reds.
In the 2023-24 season, Zubimendi made 45 appearances for Real Sociedad, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist. This summer, he was selected for the Spanish national team and helped them win the European Championship.
