Arne Slot discusses new Liverpool move for Martin Zubimendi after failed summer transfer - Reds boss talks up midfielder Ryan Gravenberch

Slot has had his say on the Reds' chances of signing Zubimendi in the January window, amid claims the midfielder now massively regrets his decision to reject a summer move

Arne Slot has issued a brutal response to Martin Zubimendi’s Liverpool U-turn, after the midfielder rejected the chance to join the club this summer. Liverpool had reportedly triggered Zubimendi’s £52million release clause, with a move to Anfield looking likely for the Real Sociedad man.

Arne Slot insists Liverpool have “moved on” from Martin Zubimendi, but claimed there would have been room in his squad for both him and Ryan Gravenberch. There were whispers earlier in the week of a renewed bid for Zubimendi in January, with a claim via a parody Twitter account gaining traction over the Real Sociedad midfielder’s ‘regret’.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot admits he would've liked to have had Martin Zubimendi part of his squad this season. Liverpool had an offer of €60m accepted by Real Sociedad, but Zubimendi turned down the move to Merseyside. Slot concedes he'd have been happy to have had the Spain midfielder in his squad.

The report cited “English media” as their source – in other words, the aforementioned tweet – but was then regurgitated by the likes of the Liverpool Echo, the Mail, the Mirror and talkSPORT.
