Zubimendi Transfer To Liverpool Faces Major Hurdle

Liverpool’s pursuit of Real Sociedad Spanish defensive midfielder Martin Zubimendi has encountered a significant obstacle.

Real Sociedad has reportedly informed Martin Zubimendi that he must personally trigger his £52 million release clause to facilitate the transfer.

This unusual demand has shifted the burden onto 25-year-old Spanish international Martin Zubimendi, forcing him to decide whether to leave his boyhood club by paying the €60 million clause at La Liga offices.

Liverpool, who have identified Zubimendi as a key target to strengthen their defensive midfield under new head coach Arne Slot, now face uncertainty as the player weighs his options.

Real Sociedad are desperate to retain one of their most valuable players and have made it clear they won’t negotiate directly with the Reds.

It looks like Real Sociedad are not willing to allow Martin Zubimendi join Liverpool this summer and as the transfer window is still open, a new decision might be made.
