According to TA news on August 8, Sloter believes that Liverpool still needs to introduce a No. 6 player who can control the ball. Liverpool has not yet made an offer for Zubimendy.

The media revealed that Real Sociedad has been aware of Liverpool's interest in Zubimendi, but has not received any offer yet, and they are not willing to sell Zubimendi easily. However, if Zubimendi requests to be released, Real Sociedad is willing to meet his wishes. In fact, Zubimendi himself has not decided to leave the team. He has also been favored by Arsenal and Barcelona this summer, but neither of these two giants has persuaded him to leave.

It is reported that after evaluating the squad in the pre-season, Liverpool coach Sloter believes that the team still needs to introduce a No. 6 position. Compared with Klopp, Sloter attaches more importance to the ball control ability of the defensive midfielder position, so he hopes to introduce a ball-controlling rather than tackling defensive midfielder. Zubimendy is considered to be an ideal candidate who meets Sloter's requirements.

During the trip to the United States, Sloter had Endo, Soboslai and Gravenberch play as defensive midfielders in three games, and the latter two performed well. In addition, McAllister and Bajcetic can also play this position.

The 25-year-old Zubimendy can play as a defensive midfielder and a central midfielder. He is valued at 50 million euros by Transfermarkt and his contract expires in 2027. Last season, he contributed 4 goals and 1 assist in 45 games for Real Sociedad.
