Gary Neville predicted why Martin Subimendi rejected Liverpool's offer.
Liverpool said goodbye to Jurgen Klopp after last season. Klopp is the one who made Liverpool a strong team. Liverpool was in the dark for a long time, and with Klopp's arrival, Liverpool began to become competitive. He also won the Premier League (PL) title in the 2019-20 season. It was Liverpool's first win in the PL.
Manager Arne Slot came as Klopp's replacement. Slot was evaluated as a next-generation master by showing good soccer at Feyenoord. Slot proved it to some extent in the Netherlands, but since it is the first time for him to perform in a PL, there were both expectations and concerns.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is having a quiet time this summer. Liverpool has not made any recruitment so far. It was literally "0 mouth." Recently, Liverpool wanted to reinforce defensive midfielders and showed interest in Subimendi.
Subimendi is a Spanish defensive midfielder who evenly matches the demands of modern soccer. Basically, he has good defense and excellent build-up capabilities as he is from Spain. Subimendi is playing a key role in Real Sociedad's midfield.
Liverpool quickly recruited Subimendi. Negotiations seemed to be easy as news spread that Subimendi was also positive about transferring to Liverpool. However, Subimendi declared that he would stay at Real Sociedad. In the meantime, negotiations with Liverpool ended. 안전놀이터
Neville speculated why Subimendi changed his mind about moving to Liverpool. Neville said, "He showed a positive reaction to Liverpool, but he changed his mind late on. It's crazy. I believe Real Madrid and Barcelona are connected. They would have said, 'We're not ready yet, but we're going to take you.'
