Italian makes January transfer statement on £51M star that Arne Slot would love to sign for Liverpool

Italian Journalist Fabrizio Romano has opened up and claimed that LIVERPOOL transfer target Martin Zubimendi does not intent to leave Real Sociedad in the January transfer window.

Zubimendi was one of the many players that Liverpool were leavily linked with in the summer window and a player that Arne Slot had high up on the shopping list of players he wanted.

But despite all the speculation and rumours – he stayed put and committed himself to Real – but it has been claimed in recent days that Man City are looking to seal a deal as they seek an immediate replacement for the injured Rodri.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed as much on his YouTube channel, claiming that Man City do want the player – but Zubimendi has no intention of leaving Real in the middle of the season.

“Martin Zubimendi wanted to clarify about his future, because we had links with Manchester City, can he replace Rodri, we know in the summer he said no to Liverpool,” the CaughtOffside columnist said.

“Today (October 9), Zubimendi in a press conference confirmed that he’s not planning to leave Real Sociedad. The intention of the player in January is not to leave Real Sociedad. At the moment, I’m not aware of any direct contact with Manchester City.

“At the moment, the situation is really quiet around Zubimendi.

‘Next summer we will see what happens for Zubimendi, for sure, could be an interesting one. But at the moment, no contacts with Manchester City, no negotiations for Zubimendi, and the player keeps repeating in public how happy he is at Real Sociedad and how he’s not planning for a switch or change in the January transfer window.”
