0

Liverpool fans have been eagerly awaiting positive news on Martin Zubimendi since his name was fired into the limelight but still the wait goes on for a real update.

Reporting for Noticias De Gipuzkoa, Mikel Recalde stated: ‘the final say lies with the player, who continues to be a sea of ​​doubts but who has to make a decision this weekend because [Liverpool] are not going to wait for him.’

It seems then that the Reds have set a deadline for the player, meaning a decision will need to be made before Monday on whether he will be making a Merseyside move or not.

Arne Slot will seemingly be hoping that RIchard Hughes can get this deal over the line and it could prove to be an indicator as to how good the duo are at convincing players to join the club.

Crucial hours ahead, let’s see how it pans out.
