Liverpool’s top summer transfer target Martin Zubimendi has rejected a proposal to join the Merseyside club and will remain at boyhood team Real Sociedad.

 

Spain’s European Championship winner was identified as a top priority for Arne Slot’s men this window and Liverpool believed they could tempt him away from La Real. He had previously rejected the likes of Arsenal and Bayern Munich.

 

But it now appears the move is off, with Zubimendi being convinced to stay by a charm offensive from his current club led by manager Imanol Alguacil.

 

 

It is understood the boss held several meetings with the 25-year-old and tugged on his heartstrings to stay, referencing how the fanbase would be disappointed by his exit. Imanol also talked a lot about how good Zubimendi’s life is in San Sebastián.

 

He made a presentation that centred around the good food options in the Basque region and Zubimendi’s hobby of hiking up Mount Ulia. He also talked about how the player had told Spanish tv he would stay at La Real after the Euros final.
