LFC TRANSFER NEWS: opinionLiverpool get green light to repeat £16m transfer masterstroke for Martin Zubimendi alternative

Latest Liverpool transfer news and rumours as the Reds may have the opportunity to sign a Martin Zubimendi alternative to strengthen their midfield

Liverpool may have an alternative option to Martin Zubimendi should they still wish to sign a new midfielder this summer. The Reds recently failed in their pursuit of signing the Real Sociedad star earlier this month.

Last week saw Liverpool begin their Premier League campaign with a win over Ipswich Town thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota. Despite the opening-day victory, attention is still focused on what transfer business the Reds may conduct before the window closes.

There are yet to be any new signings in the Arne Slot era at Liverpool, but that has not stopped the rumours from swirling about potential targets. Midfield is the area of the pitch that has seen the majority of the attention thanks to the noise surrounding the possibility of signing Zubimendi.

With that deal seemingly off the table, it remains to be seen if Liverpool will go into the market for an alternative. However, a recent update suggests that just such an opportunity may be about to present itself to the Reds

According to Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich star Leon Goretzka’s future has become uncertain. The Germany international is reportedly keen to remain with the Bundesliga giants, but the club seemingly have different ideas.

It has been stated that Bayern have informed Goretzka that he is not in the plans to feature in the midfield under new manager Vincent Kompany. As a result, the report claims that the club and the player will hold talks over finding a solution.
