Media have linked Arsenal and Liverpool with a potential transfer of Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi.
However, it seems the "Gunners" will have one less competitor in the race to sign the Spaniard.
Details. Liverpool are not planning to revisit the option of signing Zubimendi, as reported by TEAMtalk. Moreover, they have not held any talks with the 26-year-old's camp since being notified of his refusal last summer.
Last summer, Liverpool made a strong push to sign Zubimendi, and the deal was considered close to completion. The "Reds" informed Sociedad that they would activate the midfielder's buyout clause of 60 million euros, but ultimately the player decided to stay at his boyhood club for at least another season.
Reminder. Another contender for the Spanish midfielder is Real Madrid.
Additionally, Arsenal are actively pursuing Zubimendi. It was previously reported that the "Gunners" are the closest to purchasing the Spaniard.
