David Ornstein shares why Liverpool may have an edge in Martin Zubimendi race
Liverpool’s search for a new midfielder is heating up and Martin Zubimendi has emerged as a top target for the Merseyside club.
Indeed, the Spaniard is said to be a serious target for Liverpool, and there could soon be some serious movement🐻 on this front.
🅰Liverpool look to be serious about signing Zubimendi, and according to David Ornstein, speaking on the , the Redsไ could have an edge in this transfer race.
According to Ornstein, Liverpool could have an edge in the race to sign Zubimendiꦜ due to the fact Richard Hughes is very close to the player’s♍ agent.

Ornstein shared what hꦏe 𓆏knows about this transfer situation.
“They have to achieve what no other club has achieved so far and convince him to leave Real Sociedad. They do have some factors in their favour such as their Sport🐻ing Director, Richard Hughes, who is very close to the agent of Martin Zubimendi, and that may be a factor in all of this,” Ornstein said.
Richard Hughes having an impact
Richard Hughes is yet to make a signing for Lꦰiverpool since arriving as the club’s Sporting Director, but now, he could have a big impact on the Reds’ Zubimendi pursui🅘t.
Hughes knows Zubimendi’s agent well as he shares an agent with Andoni Iraol𝓰a.
Hughes, of course, was the man who brought Iraola to the Premier League last year as he made the audacious move of sacking Gary🧸 O’Neill t൩o being the Spaniard to the south coast.
Since then, Iraola has been a revelation at Bournemouth, and Hughes has seemingly cult♛ivated a good relationship with th𒀰e manager’s agent, a relationship that could now benefit Liverpool.
In football, sometimes it’s more about who you know rather than what you know, and Hughes’ links to Zubimendi’s aꩲgent may help the Reds get this deal over the line here.
