π¨ DEVASTATING NEWS: live from Anfield, here is Arne Slot’s strategy for Wataru Endo in the event that Liverpool signs Martin Zubimendi.
It has come to light today that Liverpool is showing a big amount of interest in the midfielder Martin Zubimendi, who now plays for Real Sociedad. Due to the fact that the Spanish club is hesitant to negotiate a lesser sum, it has been stated that the Reds are prepared to match the release clause of the 25-year-old player, which is set at Β£51.7 million.
A more possession-oriented style of play is what new manager Arne Slot envisions for the team, and this probable acquisition is in line with that goal. Slot has highlighted the importance of bolstering the No. 6 position with a player who is technically proficient, and Zubimendi is an excellent candidate for this profile.
According to Paul Joyce of The Times, this transfer may indicate that Wataru Endo’s time at Anfield is coming to an end. During Slot’s efforts to revamp the midfield dynamics, it appears that Endo, who had previously signed from Stuttgart in the summer of 2017, is no longer in favour.
Bringing Zubimendi into the fold would not only satisfy a crucial requirement for Liverpool, but it would also represent a change in the way the squad approaches its tactical strategy under Slot’s direction. The fact that the club is willing to make a significant investment in a player of Zubimendi’s calibre demonstrates their dedication to re-establishing themselves and continuing to compete at the highest level.
Following the progression of the transfer window, fans will be paying close attention to the development of this possible transaction as well as any other potential changes that may be on the horizon for Liverpool’s squad.
