Fabrizio Romano CONFIRMS Liverpool want €55m Martin Zubimendi alternative
Liverpool’s announcement of an agreement with Real Sociedad for the defensive midfielder was welcomed with much hoopla. However, when it was revealed that Zubimendi himself had rejected the arrangement, Liverpool were left with an embarrassing situation.
This hasn’t discouraged Liverpool’s sporting director Richard Hughes, who is still rumoured to be interested in signing Zubimendi.
Romano confirms that Liverpool dispatched scouts to watch Ederson throughout last season and has repeated the same at times this season.
However, the transfer expert concedes that getting Ederson out of Italy in January would be nearly impossible, citing a “crazy proposal” to do so.
He goes on to explain that €50-55 million would not be enough, despite the Brazilian’s current reported value, but that this might alter by the summer.
Atalanta are now in the process of creating a Serie A title campaign, and a win over Empoli today will propel them back to the top of the league.
And Ederson has been critical to their success this season, starting every game.
He is also a more typical centre-midfielder who can drop into defensive midfield if necessary, providing him the versatility that Arne Slot values as he seeks to ensure depth alongside Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis MacAllister, and Curtis Jones in those ranks.
