Liverpool's transfer window! The Reds are really making big moves in the market, and it looks like they've set their sights on Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi as their top priority.

  Liverpool's transfer window is finally heating  up! The Reds are making significant moves in   the market, with Real Sociedad's Martin  Zubimendi emerging as their top priority. 

New manager Arne Slot has identified the  Spanish midfielder as crucial to his plans.

Liverpool are prepared to trigger Zubimendi's  60 million euros release clause, but the final   hurdle remains convincing the player.  Negotiations are ongoing and intense,   with Liverpool pulling out all the stops  to make this their first summer signing. There's an intriguing backstory to the  Zubimendi saga.

Arsenal had previously   reached a verbal agreement with the player back  in March, including salary and contract terms. However, communication mysteriously ceased,  leaving the Gunners frustrated and in the   dark. There's been no contact between the parties  since late March, and Arsenal have since shifted   their focus to other targets, including Mikel  Merino as a potentially cheaper alternative.

Liverpool's midfield revamp doesn't stop at  Zubimendi. The club is also showing strong   interest in Adrien Rabiot, who's available  on a free transfer after leaving Juventus. Slot is keen on the French midfielder, viewing  him as an experienced option to bolster the   squad.

This interest persists regardless  of the outcome of the Zubimendi deal,   indicating Liverpool's determination to  significantly strengthen their midfield. In contract news, talks with  Trent Alexander-Arnold are   progressing positively. Liverpool  are offering a substantial pay rise,   reflecting Trent's status as one of  the Premier League's elite players. The club views him as a future  captain and a cornerstone of   their long-term plans.

While Real  Madrid's interest has been noted,   sources close to the player suggest he's  in no rush to leave Anfield. This new deal   would likely keep him at Liverpool for his prime  years. More updates expected soon on this front. The goalkeeper situation at Liverpool  is evolving interestingly. The Reds are   targeting Valencia's Giorgi Mamardashvili  as a long-term successor to Alisson.

07:56

A potential 35 million euros  deal is being discussed,   with the option to loan him back to Valencia  for a season. This move shows Liverpool's   forward-thinking approach, planning for the  future while maintaining their current strength. Meanwhile, Caoimhin Kelleher's future at  Anfield is uncertain.

08:14

The Irish keeper is   seeking more regular playing time, and several  clubs including Celtic, Nottingham Forest,   and Wolves are showing strong interest.  While Slot is reluctant to lose Kelleher,   the player's desire for first-team  football could lead to a move. Despite being the only club in Europe's top  five leagues yet to make a summer signing,   Liverpool are clearly working on multiple  fronts to strengthen their squad.

08:36

The   potential arrivals of Zubimendi and Rabiot,  coupled with the pursuit of Mamardashvili,   signal an ambitious transfer  strategy from the Merseyside club.
