Liverpool still have work to do to sign Martin Zubimendi, but the likes of Mark Goldbridge have expressed ‘disappointment’ at the Reds’ strong position in this transfer window.
The Manchester United-supporting YouTuber has given his take on the ongoing speculation surrounding the Real Sociedad midfielder, and his envy of the efficient business LFC often manages in this market is clear.
He began in a video for That’s Football on Thursday, saying: “Liverpool are trying to complete the signing of Zubimendi and I am very disheartened.
“When Liverpool sign players this quickly, they end up wearing Liverpool shirts. Liverpool are incredibly efficient when it comes to deals and they were involved in this deal.”

Goldbridge has praised the Reds’ promising pre-season form and results, praising Arne Slot for preserving ‘continuity’ following the Jurgen Klopp era.
Liverpool fans will be wary of making a hasty judgement on Zubimendi, given La Real’s attractive campaign to keep him at the club, but many Kopité fans may be pleased to see the ardent United supporter grit his teeth and show his ‘respect’ for his rivals.
Liverpool have a history of completing transformational signings with minimal fuss. Will their pursuit of the Spanish midfielder be successful?
