After a few decades, this is the first time that Liverpool hasn’t spent in the transfer market. Arne Slot wanted some players, but they failed to sign them. Last season, Liverpool finished in third place in the English Premier League, and Jurgen Klopp decided to leave them. At that time, they signed players like Dominik Sbozobolai, Alexis MacAllister.
Several reports suggest that Liverpool wanted to sign Lenny Yoro, but the reds didn’t want to match Lille’s valuation. The French cub wanted around £52m for the young defender.
On the other hand, Arne Slot wanted Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi as the replacement of Fabinho. The latter has left Liverpool to join a Saudi club, Al Ittihad. Liverpool were not the only team that failed to sign Zubimendi because he has rejected offers from other clubs like Bayern Munich and Arsenal. The Spaniard has chosen loyalty, and he will sign a new contract at Real Sociedad.
