Last month, it was reported that Manchester City are “constantly watching” Zubimendi as they view him as a summer target. On Wednesday, a claim also surfaced that Liverpool would try to sign Zubimendi in the January transfer window if the opportunity presents itself, who has a release clause worth £50 million.

Liverpool have been alerted as their main summer transfer target Martin Zubimendi is “now open to a move”, according to The Times. According to the outlet’s website on 13 December, Zubimendi has changed his mind regarding his transfer stance. This is after turning down the chance to move to Anfield earlier this year.
