According to the latest news of authoritative transfer journalist David Ornstein, the English Premier League giants Liverpool continue to maintain a strong interest in Real Sociedad's midfielder Sobie Mendy in the transfer market and are actively trying to push for a deal to be reached.The Athletic also reported on Wednesday, local time, that Liverpool is looking into the possibility of bringing in the Spanish international, and the Real The Athletic also reported on Wednesday local time that Liverpool are looking into the possibility of bringing in the Spanish international, while Real Sociedad expects Subbimendi to accept the transfer offer from Liverpool.
However, despite both sides being open to the deal, Subbimendi himself has yet to make a final decision. In addition, in-depth negotiations between the two clubs need to take place and the details of the transfer need to be agreed upon. It is worth noting that Subbimendi's contract contains a release clause worth €60 million (about £51.7 million or $63.4 million), which calls for a one-time payment in full. This high transfer fee could be a major obstacle in Liverpool's pursuit of Subbimendi.
Apart from the transfer fee issue, Liverpool face other challenges in their pursuit of Subi Mendi. Firstly, they need to convince the 25-year-old to leave Real Sociedad, the club he grew up playing for, which is no easy task. Secondly, Real Sociedad are also trying to retain key players like Subbimendi to keep the team competitive and stable.
For Liverpool, bringing in Subi Mendy is a major task in their summer transfer window. With the departure of Henderson and Fabinho and the retirement of Thiago, the team is in dire need of fresh blood in the midfield position. Subi Mendi, as a skillful midfielder with good attacking and defending skills, is undoubtedly one of Liverpool's ideal choices.
