Should Zubimendi join the Reds this summer, he will not be the first player to move to Anfield from Real Sociedad
After more than three years of transfer setbacks and unrelenting speculation, Liverpool's protracted search for their dream defensive midfielder could well be nearing its conclusion. The Reds have long been lacking an elite No. 6 to anchor their engine room, having seen top targets Aurélien Tchouaméni and Moises Caicedo favour moves to Real Madrid and Chelsea respectively over the past few seasons. Wataru Endo was able to plug the void last term following his £16.
Zubimendi is a product of Sociedad's academy and, like Alonso, spent time with the club's reserves before making the leap up to the first team. Alonso returned to his old club in 2019 to coach Sociedad B and it was during his time there that the former Liverpool man was mightily impressed by the young Zubimendi, describing him as 'a player all coaches would want'.
