Liverpool Football Club has been preparing for an exciting, inaugural Championship summer, as they look to mark a record-breaking 21st successive league title. The club’s manager, Arne Slot, is set to receive one of the largest transfer budgets in Liverpool’s history, which will enable him to make significant additions to the squad. One of those targets is Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi. Club president Jokin Aperribay said that they would sort out his future in June.
Arsenal have shown an interest in Zubimendi, so the race could be on for the immensely talented midfielder. At the same time, Liverpool seems to have their sights set on Alexander Isak in a summer transfer move. Based on that alone, the club’s chances of making a move for Isak don’t seem too promising. This unforeseen roadblock throws another curveball into their busy summer plans.

Back in Manchester, Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes chastised his team after their poor performance. He’s shrewd and he knows that even Europa League glory wouldn’t be nearly enough to rescue what has been a horrendous campaign for the club. This statement is indicative of the mounting heat United has to turn their on field performance and on field results around in the league.
