Liverpool’s summer transfer plans have hit a major setback following the breakdown of their pursuit of the highly-regarded midfielder Martín Zubimendi. Zubimendi’s decision to remain in La Liga has prompted Liverpool to search for other options to strengthen their midfield.
CBS Sports Golazo reports that Martín Zubimendi has turned down a move to Liverpool, even though a significantly higher salary was on offer, due to his preference to stay in Spain.
In response, Liverpool is now considering Adrien Rabiot as a potential acquisition. The French international, who is now a free agent, brings considerable skill and experience. Although he may not be at his prime at 29, Rabiot could still add valuable depth and quality to Liverpool’s midfield, especially with his ability to make an impact as a substitute.
A key challenge in negotiating a deal for Adrien Rabiot is his high salary expectations, which might pose a significant hurdle for Liverpool. The club will need to carefully balance the potential advantages of signing Rabiot with the financial impact of his wage demands.
As the transfer window continues, Liverpool fans will be watching closely to see if Rabiot could be the midfield boost the team needs. Only time will reveal the outcome.
