LFC TRANSFER NEWS LIVE : Euro Paper Talk: Liverpool line up electric winger to follow Zubimendi in spectacular £126m double

LFC TRANSFER

Liverpool have been tipped to sign a long-term target alongside Martin Zubimendi, Tottenham could lose a star player to Real Madrid, while Chelsea are closing in on ANOTHER new signing who’s set for a medical – all in Thursday’s edition of Euro Paper Talk.

Liverpool are the only Premier League side not to have made a signing this summer but this will change very soon, with Martin Zubimendi expected to join from Real Sociedad.

The 25-year-old, who played his role in Spain winning Euro 2024 this summer, has a £51m release clause in his contract which the Reds must pay upfront to secure a deal – in other words, no structured payments or clauses will be accepted for the player.

Basque outlet Noticias de Gipuzkoa has claimed that Liverpool ARE willing to pay Zubimendi’s release clause – meaning an agreement is just around the corner.

Arne Slot has been on the hunt for a new defensive midfielder to compete with Wataru Endo and the Sociedad maestro could prove to be a perfect fit.

Ornstein adds that if Zubimendi asks to leave Sociedad, the club will not stand in his way.

This comes after Zubimendi refused to join Arsenal in January as he did not want to disadvantage his team in the middle of a season, which has earned him some favours.

With that in mind, everything points towards Liverpool snapping up the talented Spaniard on a £51m deal in the coming days.

Fabrizio Romano: Liverpool could still get Anthony Gordon

Trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano has said that Liverpool could still sign Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon in the latter stages of the transfer window.

Before the PSR deadline that forced Newcastle into selling players, Liverpool had agreed a deal that would’ve seen Gordon join them for £75m and Joe Gomez sign for the Magpies for £45m.

Medicals were even booked for the pair but the Magpies were ultimately able to sell Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh instead, so the deal was shelved.

But Romano insists that Gordon, who is valued at approximately £75m by Newcastle, could still join Liverpool in the coming weeks.

“If they drop the price at Newcastle, that could still be a possibility, I think, for Liverpool in the final weeks of the transfer window,” Romano told

But it’s not something that I’m hearing is now really imminent, because there is still no bid to Newcastle. There is still no fresh club-to-club conversation.”
