**JUST IN: GEM.** Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad has completely changed his future prospects at Liverpool, as the club now DOUBLES their offer to £91 million

Midfield player Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad might get another opportunity to join Liverpool after reportedly regretting his choice to turn down a move to Anfield this past summer.

The Merseyside club had made a strong push to sign the Euro 2024 champion, agreeing to trigger his €60 million (£50.5 million, $66.9 million) buyout clause and significantly boosting his salary, which would have been three times what he earns at Real Sociedad.

Zubimendi had originally been scheduled for a medical in Merseyside, but his agent got in touch with Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, to let him know the player had changed his mind and would not be transferring. This was a letdown for Liverpool, who at the time chose not to target other midfielders, instead deciding to reassess their strategy moving forward.

New updates from Estadio Deportivo, however, indicate that the opportunity may be available once again. The midfielder is apparently willing to “back-track” on his earlier stance for two primary reasons. First, Real Sociedad has had difficulty filling the gaps left by key figures such as Robin Le Normand and Mikel Merino, resulting in a poor beginning to their La Liga campaign — with the team currently sitting 16th after six games. This situation has placed added strain on Zubimendi, who now reportedly regrets not moving to Liverpool and wants the club to reconsider signing him in the January window.

Second, it’s now being reported that Real Sociedad has not yet presented Zubimendi with a new contract, even though they had promised to do so after he turned down Liverpool’s offer. He is still on his previous deal, signed in October 2022, which pays him around €3 million per year (just under £50,000 per week). The absence of a new agreement could further motivate him to pursue a new chapter with Liverpool.
