A new Liverpool transfer update emerges after Zubimendi's release

A new update has emerged regarding Liverpool's possible pursuit of a midfielder in the summer transfer window, with their plans becoming clearer.

A worrying situation for Liverpool in midfield

The Reds are the only team in the Premier League not to make a single signing so far this summer, which has caused a lot of anger among fans. Jurgen Klopp may have left Arne Slot with a formidable squad, but a new face would prove essential, in terms of bringing freshness to the proceedings, not to mention adding top quality.

Midfield is perhaps the most important area of ​​the pitch to tackle this summer, particularly in the No.6 role, with Liverpool having yet to fully replace Fabinho since his move to Saudi Arabia. Wataru Endo came on and was solid but he represented no answer, while Martin Zubimendi's move failed.

The Real Sociedad ace has decided to stay at his current club, analyzing various factors, meaning the Reds still lack balance in the middle of the park.

Many fans are eager to see the number 6 arrive between now and the end of the transfer window, with some of the opinion that failure to sign could jeopardize their chances of winning the Premier League title this season, and now a new one. an update has dropped regarding this situation.

A new Liverpool transfer update comes from the midfielder

According to a new report emerging Football InsiderLiverpool are now likely to wait until the January transfer window to add to their squad.

Reporter Pete O'Rourke says the Reds are “unlikely to land a top number six before August 31 and will not be in a rush to get a deal done”, with Richard Hughes and the recruitment team aiming to “avoid the mistakes of the past” and strike a deal. “Arthur Melo's shock style is as consistent as the club's 2022.”

This is an update that may not go down well with a lot of Liverpool supporters, especially considering the complete lack of transfer business done this summer.

Not signing a single player so far is a concern for FSG, especially when the funds seem to be there to bring in new faces. The Reds even received around £10m for the recent signing of Dominic Solanke from Tottenham, thanks to the sell-on clause in his contract when he moved from Anfield to Bournemouth.

Admittedly, panic buying is never a good thing, so it's right that the likes of Hughes and Michael Edwards weigh up their options for No.6 carefully, but Zubimendi won't be the only option in that role, so hopefully. another will emerge as an interesting target in the next few weeks.

This latest update suggests that isn't happening, however, which means Slott may stick with what he has, continuing to use the likes of Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch in deeper roles.
