Liverpool came close to signing Martin Zubimendi in the summer having previously expressed interest in Aurelien Tchouameni
It was not until August 29, a day before the transfer window closed, that Liverpool made their first signing of the summer for this season. While the Reds had won their opening two games under Arne Slot at that point, questions were still being asked. They surrounded the club's decision largely to keep their powder dry in the market after Martin Zubimendi U-turned on his decision to join Liverpool and remain loyal to Real Sociedad.
” Another midfielder who the Reds have held serious interest in previously is Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni. And reports from Spain this month suggest they are willing to test the waters with the La Liga giants - who travel to Anfield on November 27 for a mouth-watering Champions League clash - by making an initial £50m bid. And Johnson, who made 200 appearances for Liverpool, said: 'I don’t know if he’s the best pound-for-pound, but he’s definitely the best for £50million.
