Liverpool are ready to sign £50m player in January if they get the chance

Barring a serious collapse, Liverpool will head into the January transfer window as the Premier League table-toppers.

The Reds are sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League right now, but, as Liverpool ought to know better t𒉰han anyone else, they can’t rest on their laurꦐels.

Luckily, January is the perfect time to add that extra spark to your squad, and the Reds 💟may be on the lookout for new signings.

Takefusa Kub💯o has reꦜcently been linked to Liverpool, while, speaking on the Blood Red Podcast, Joe Rimmer has suggested that Liverpool will jump at the chance to sign Martin Zubimendi if the opportunity presents itself.

Liverpool may try to sign Martin Zubimendi

The journalist discussed the idea of Liv༒erpool moving for Zubimendi again.

Rimmer says that L🎉iverpool will do this deal if the chance arises, claiming that the money is there to do a deal.

Zubimendi has a £50m release clause in his 💃contract.

Liverpool tried to sign Zubimendi in the summer, but, ultimately, t♔he midfielder decided to stay a♈t Real Sociedad.

“Liverpool probably don’t seem like the club who would cut their nose off to spite their face. We seem very sort of cold💮, and we’ve seen it with the contracts and we’re very business oriented with these big decisions, so could that (Zubimendi) be back on thℱe cards?” Rimmer asked.

“I think if there’s any chance that they can go and 🌸get Zubimendi i🦩n January, I think they will do it.

“The money’s there, we kn🐷ow the money’s there, don’t we?”

“I think the club would do꧋ it. I think they’re not the club to cut the nose off🌱, to spite their face.

“You know, I remember at the t💞ime, I’m sure you wrote at the time that it was all done, you know, very amicable, the calls of Richard Hu💦ghes. I think he called him personally, didn’t he? I remember at the time, so I just could imagine that if his agent gets on to Liverpool and says, you know what, he is available. They would do that and do that quite quickly.”

How does Martin Zubimendi feel about leaving Real Sociedad?

Liverpool might go fo𝓀 Zubimendi in January, but the Reds have been here before.

Indeed, Zubimendi knocked Liverpool back in the summer, and according to Steve Kay, Zubimendi doesn💝’t care about signing for a big club.

According to people I’ve been ta🥃lking to he’s a strange man, he’s a strange character,” Kay said.

“He’s someone who doesn’t care abou๊t playing for teams like Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal. He’s happy to play where he is, finish fourth, fifth or sixth. He loves where he lives and that’s him. The Matt Le Tissier of La Liga I suppose,” Kay said.

However, according to David Ornstein, Zubimendi’s stance has changed recently.

“Some peopleꦅ think that his loyalty to La Real will continue to keep him forever, but increasingly in the chats I’ve had, there is an expectation now that the summer, he is more ready in his head to move than befor🌊e they’ve had more time to plan,” Ornstein said.

Crucially though, Ornstein says that would be one for the summer, so Liverpool’s hopes of bolstering their squad with the a🉐ddition of Zubimendi in𒁃 January may have already been dashed.

The January window may be c🌠rucial in deciding how the Premier League title race pans out, and Liverpool may need one or two bodies th🗹rough the door just to get them over the line.
