He averaged 2.2 tackles, 0.6 interceptions, and 1 clearance per game (stats via <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/1xbet.whoscored.com\/Players\/372424\/Show\/Mart%C3%ADn-Zubimendi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">whoscored<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Spanish midfielder is a defensive choice in the middle of the park. He is an intelligent player who tries to work on his positioning. With excellent tackles, blocking the shots, and making an aerial presence, he provides stability in the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool are confident about signing Martin Zubimendi<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liverpool are focused on signing a midfielder or two before the summer <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">window<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> closes. They are <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">visibly<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> looking to sign a defensive midfielder as they were over-dependent upon <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/2024\/04\/wataru-endo-to-start-the-game-4-3-3-liverpool-predicted-lineup-vs-west-ham-united\/\">Wataru Endo<\/a> last season. Hence, the pursuit of Martin Zubimendi seems a move in the right direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Zubimendi is an experienced and proven campaigner, who would provide solidity in the midfielder. His presence will allow other midfielders to play in a more offensive role. The 25-year-old is at the peak of his powers and can help the Reds win big titles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/la-liga\/real-sociedad\/\">Real Sociedad<\/a> have <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">given Liverpool the permission<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to communicate with the player, it ultimately comes down to the midfielder. On one side, he might find joining Anfield a lucrative move in his career.
