According to As, after Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi
Refusal to join
Liverpool (England)
After the newspaper headlined "No one wants to go to Liverpool", it listed in detail how Liverpool has repeatedly hit a brick wall in the transfer market in recent years. Although Liverpool is recognized as one of the most important clubs in England, and many players dream of wearing the Reds' uniforms and stepping onto the Anfield pitch to hear "You'll Never Walk Alone," the reality is a bit harsh.
Since Fabinho's departure, Liverpool have been searching for a suitable full-back to fill the void. However, their transfer attempts have been frequently thwarted. Previously, Liverpool had pursued Joan Armeni, Caicedo and Lavia, but these players chose Real Madrid and Chelsea respectively over Liverpool. Even Klopp, a highly respected manager, failed to attract Bellingham, who eventually moved to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Liverpool also missed out on Enzo Fernandez and Amrabat, with the former moving to Chelsea and the latter making it clear he was only willing to join Manchester United.
Even former Liverpool player Xavi Alonso turned down the chance to return to Anfield to take over from Jurgen Klopp, choosing to remain in charge of Leverkusen. Although Bellingham also turned down Manchester City and Xavi Alonso turned down Bayern, this series of transfer failures looks particularly worrying for Liverpool.
Despite Liverpool's excellent pre-season performance under the leadership of new manager Slaughter, As pointed out that the new season is still full of unknowns and uncertainties for Liverpool fans. Having lost a number of transfer targets one after another, whether Liverpool can regain its former competitiveness in the new season is still a huge question mark.
