Liverpool appeared poised to win the race for Real Sociedad midfielder Martín Zubimendi last summer, with the player initially agreeing to move to Merseyside. However, at the very last moment, he reversed his decision—choosing to remain with Sociedad for another season. Despite this, he has now committed his future to Arsenal.
Carragher stated:
“I’m convinced now that Mikel Arteta definitely stole him from Liverpool. He had agreed to come to Liverpool… at the last minute he said, ‘I don’t want to come… I’ll have another year at Sociedad.’ Mikel Arteta’s from the Basque area… he’s been into him and said, ‘We’re signing Merino this season, Arsenal will come for you next season.’”
