November 23 – According to British media outlet Team Talk, Liverpool is preparing to make another attempt to sign Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Zubiementdi in the January transfer window.
During the summer transfer window, Liverpool was very close to signing Zubiementdi, but the deal fell through at the last moment. The 60 million euro release clause in Zubiementdi’s contract remains in effect. In addition to Liverpool, Arsenal is also interested in signing Zubiementdi to strengthen their midfield. Arsenal may use the player’s former teammate Mikel Merino to facilitate the transfer.
